Disable desktop keys when laptop mode is enabled
|
Tage Johansson
Hi!
I have a laptop with numpad but no extra home/end keys. Therefore, I'm using the home and end keys on the numpad. But NVDA takes ownership of my numpad, so I have no home and end keys. I tried to set the keyboard layout of NVDA to laptop, but NVDA has still ownership of my numpad. Any solutions? Tage |

You can go to NVDA menu, Preferences, Input gestures and in the Text review cathegory remove the entries regarding NumPad1 and NumPad7...

Hi Tage, In NVDA's Input Gestures dialog, you can adjust keystrokes. Press NVDA+n, then P for preferences, then N for Input Gestures. In the "Object Navigation" and "Text Review" sections, you should find most of the keys you need. Numpad7 (which is Home on a regular desktop keyboard) is used in: "Move to top line in review" "Move to previous line in review" and "Switch to next review mode" Numpad1, which is End for me, is used in: "Move to start of line in review", "Move to previous character in review", and "Switch to previous review mode" If you open the commands quick reference from the help menu- NVDA+n, then H then it's Q or the second item down, has all the keystrokes, so you can search for, for instance "numpad1" or "numpad7".

You can do that if you want to have problems using
screen review or object navigation. Even if you do this, does that mean
the function keys are returned to their free state? I don't know.
Maybe they just won't do anything.
But before degrading NVDA when it may well not be
necessary, what kind of laptop are you using? Laptops that don't have home
and end keys usually have some combination that will work as home and end.
I don't know what that combination is most likely to be, but it may be the fn
key and this or that key used in combination. Others will very likely have
suggestions to try or may be able to check documentation.
Also, are you completely sure there is no home and
end key? My laptop has small home and end keys that don't look anything
like standard computer keys in a horizontal row of very small keys that are
above the main keyboard. Once, a computer user discussed this question on
a list I'm on and, after considerable discussion, she found that the home and
end keys were present in an interface more or less as I described.

Just a small clarification, if you are using NVDA in laptop keyboard layout, then that has its own set of review cursor / object navigation keys which don't use the number pad. Changing the desktop layout keystrokes won't have any impact on NVDA's functions while you are in laptop layout. Note that if you do this, you want to leave the laptop layout keys for those functions, or as Gene notes, you will not be able to use those functions. Regards Quentin.
