NVDA not pulling up list of webpage elements in Firefox or IE!
|
Mailing Lists
Hi All,
Using the latest NVDA on a Windows 7 machine. When using either latest firefox or IE11 on a desktop PC and try to use "Insert + F7" to pull up a list of elements on a webpage I get the "Enable carat browsing" message from both browsers. Is there something I need to change in order to bypass this message and get NVDA to pull up the list of elements such as links etc. It looks like NVDA is not recognising the number pad insert key or the insert key in the group of six buttons. No changes were made after the installation of NVDA apart from the synthesizer speed and volume. Many thanks for any assistance. Paul. |

insert keys is checked by default as nvda key and you dont need to set it. are you sure that you are in brows mode when you want to list the elements? God bless you. On 3/13/17, Mailing Lists <pauls_lists@...> wrote:

If you're focused on address bar it will do that - you need to be focused on the webpage's content before you can invoke the NVDA key + F7 command.

Does the insert work in other contexts such as the
search command or read to end?
Does the insert key work in other programs or when
issuing commands such as insert n to open the NVDA menu? We need to know
if this is a general pproblem or limited to working with browsers or perhaps in
browse mode where supported.

Hi Gene,
Thank you for your response. After doing some further testing using your recommendations I found the following; - NVDA commands work normally when pulling up the NVDA menu or reading screens. - NVDA will pull up the list of elements on a webpage once focus is not in a search edit box like that in Google.
So maybe having NVDA focused within the search edit box of Google and then trying to pull up the list of elements is not what I should be doing. If this is the case then my issue is solved as it works properly once outside such form areas. So technically when in an edit box browse mode is off and therefore the ability for NVDA to pull up the elements list is unavailable. Thanks Gene.
Many thanks,
Paul.

When you are in a text entry field, NVDA
automatically switches to focus mode. I strongly believe that such
switching should not be done automatically by default and this is just one more
illustration of why. Blind people need to clearly understand when they are
using which mode and automatic switching makes this more difficult for
inexperienced users and makes it harder to properly teach what is going on and
when to use which mode.
