Forcing NVDA Find versus Browser Find
|
I'm now frustrated enough to ask this question.
It had always been my belief that hitting NVDA+CTRL+F would force the NVDA Find dialog to come up and be used to search a webpage. I often want to be able to do this when searching for controls that don't necessarily show up with a straight browser find. In trying to work on Maria's issue, I tried several times to get the NVDA find to come up to find the Language Selector button, but it wouldn't. I'd hit NVDA+CTRL+F and still get the Brave browser find. This has happened plenty in Chrome and Edge Dev, too, so I know it's not "just a Brave thing." What am I missing? There are times I absolutely want to force an NVDA Find, and it seems that sometimes I cannot do that. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Hi, NVDA’s find command can be used in browse mode only, as pressing Control+NVDA+F in focus mode will invoke browser’s own find interface, as it is actually Control+F that will be received by the browser. Cheers, Joseph

I don’t know where you are when you use the command. Is this another
example of why I say that automatic sswoitching between browse mode on and off
should be done manually, not automatically, which is the default? If you
are somewhere where browse mode is automatically turned off, what you describe
will happen.

Since I use the Focus Highlight Add-On, I'm going to have to pay attention that I'm seeing a red or dashed green outline, not dashed blue, when I try to issue a screen reader find.
I'm sure this has to be what I'm usually screwing up. What I find interesting is that there are times, like right now, where I'm typing in an edit box and Focus Highlight indicates that I'm in browse mode, when I would have thought I'd have to be in focus mode in order to enter text. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

You do have to be in forms mode. The focus highlight evidently is providing
incorrect information.

Hi Brian I get this regularly, for some reason it triggers the site’s “Find in page” functionality. When this happens, I usually press enter on the site’s “Close find” feature, make sure NVDA is in browse mode then do NVDA+Ctrl+f again. Occasionally, you can’t get into browse mode, in which case I reload and try again. If it doesn’t work next time I grouch profusely and swear never to use the site again.
Cheers Chris

Chris,
As someone else said recently, there is a certain comfort in knowing that a given issue is not limited strictly to yourself! Thanks for reporting. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

The question needs more discussion. Is this a problem with new
versions of NVDA, perhaps after the change to the new version of Python or has
it been going on for some time? and is thisw a very limited problem or
more widespread? Also, does it only affect Windows 10 users or other
users?

The question needs more discussion.Only if others want to discuss it. However, in at least partial answers to your question based on my single experience: Not new (has been happening for a long time now). Can't speak as to whether it's limited to Win10 or not. If Win7 is still being supported by NVAccess then that matters, and if it's not it doesn't. And I'd hope that active support for any OS would not go on for any longer than 1 year after any OS goes out of support by its maker. Passive "it still works" is an entirely different matter. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

I'm not 100 percent positive, but I think i have seen this once or twice in browse mode. I usually toggle between the two modes then it works for a few weeks and I normally forget about it until it happens when I don't want it to, like when I edit a stream title, look for my briefing, search for something on froogle, etc. I think I've seen this on discord actually but like I said, it happens so rarely, I can't really begin to recognize a pattern.

If anyone experiencing this is willing to, what might really help here is a copy of an NVDA lot set to debug level. If sent to the list it will need to be in the body of an email, or you can email it to me at info@... (with a brief description please, so I know what the log is about!). Kind regards Quentin.
