Hello all, Is there a keystroke in nvda to review the whole screen rather like the jaws cursor?. Kind regards, Dennis huckle.

there's more than one.
first of all you have read all controls in the active window. NVDA+B, but, more importantly, you have your object navigation. Using the NVDA key along with the numpad, you can navigate the objects on the screen using numpad 2, numpad 4, numpad 6, and numpad 8. you can use numpad keys 1 and 7 to change between object navigation and screen review mode.
I hope that helps. Shaun

You ask for a command to review the whole screen like the JAWS
cursor. Your question is not clear. It could mean a command like
control b that reads the window you are in in JAWS but that is not like the JAWS
cursor. it simply recites everything on the screen. It appears to me
that you mean, is there a command to turn on something like the JAWS cursor in
NVDA.
I wrote the following recently to discuss this question and I’m reproducing
it here.
For screen review,, which I’ll discuss here, the thing to know is that it
is similar to the JAWS cursor, but the movement keys are different.
To enter screen review, and these commands are for the default desktop
layout, Use the command num;pad insert numpad 7. At times, there is a
review mode called document review that is available. It may be available
if you are working in a Word processor. I’m not sure if it is ever
available otherwise. If you issue numpad insert numpad f7, you will hear
announced what mode you are in. If you are now in screen review mode, you
will hear screen review announced. If you try to move further, you will
hear no next review mode. You usually want to be in object review and you
should return to it after you work in screen review. The command to do so
is numpad insert numpad 1. You will hear object review announced. If
you try to move further, you will hear no previous review mode. If
document review is available, you will hear that as one of the options as you
move. For example, if you are in object review mode and you use numpad f7,
you will hear document review. Using the command again, you will hear
screen review. Moving back, numpad insert numpad 1, you will hear the
document review, then object review.
You can play with document review. I have hardly used it. It
limits your movement to the document window, so you won’t be in any part of the
screen other than that at the top or bottom of the screen.
The movement commands in screen review are as follows:
Numpad 7. move back one line.
Numpad 8, read current line.
Numpad 9, move down one line.
Numpad 4, move back one word.
Numpad 5, read current word.
Numpad 6, move forward one word.
Numpad 1, move back one carachter.
Numpad 2, read current character.
Numpad 3, move forward one carachter.
For numppad 8, 5, and 2, if you press numpad 8 and 5 twice quickly, they
spell what they announce. In other words, numpad 8 twice spells the
current line, numpad 5 spells the current word. If you press these keys
three times quickly, they say what they announce phonetically, such as foxtrot
alpha, etc.
Since numpad 1 announces the current carachter, pressing it twice announces
it phonetically. Obviously, no spell announcement is necessary because it
is already announcing one single carachter.
To move to the top of the screen, use numpad shift 7.
To move to the bottom, numpad shift 9.

Gene, in addition, you might include that, using the numpad in "desktop keyboared--and maybe more) pressing the read key (line, word, charactor) one more time will spell the entire target phonetically using (I hope) international phoenetics).

Thank you for the correction here Bryan. I wasn't sure how far
this went back as far as the change of name. Dave
