Icon that appears on selecting a table in Word

I'm not actually sure there is a keyboard way of bringing up that toolbar - as in, I can only make it appear WITH the mouse. Can you give a use case where you might want to bring that up with the mouse but then need to access it with the keyboard? And if we did something like override the context menu, we'd need to be sure that there wasn't something you could only get to from the normal context menu...

Dear Quentin,

Thanks for the clear explanation. I think the floating toolbar that appears on left-clicking that icon is what I was hoping to pull up. While there are alternative ways to access those options, I think there still is value to accessing these icons, and I was wondering if there is a GitHub ticket reporting this. If not, would you be willing to file one? Thanks.

When you hover over a table or the focus is in a table, there is an icon at the top left which is square with the move (four way arrows) symbol. You can click on this and drag to move the table. I don't think there is an equivalent keyboard command, aside from selecting, cutting and pasting. If you left click on this icon, it brings up a kind of floating toolbar, where you can select some of the font and paragraph options, some options for deleting or inserting, as well as adding a comment or opening table styles. While the order is different, you can get to most of these options from the context menu, and the rest (standard font and paragraph options) from the ribbon. There is a plain white square at the bottom right corner of the table. Clicking and dragging it resizes the table, which you can otherwise do from the Table Layout ribbon - alt, then j, then l. If you click on this without dragging, it opens the same floating toolbar as described for the other icon. Regards Quentin

Dear all,
I am currently using NVDA 2021.3 Beta 2 and Word for Microsoft 365 on a Windows 10 machine. From a sighted person I am working with, I have learnt that when I select an entire table (by going to browse mode and setting start and end markers), a certain icon shows up which contains several options. This icon gives options different from that which I get on pressing the Applications key. If you have followed my question so far, do you know of a way to access and click this icon independently? I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Best Regards, Bhavya Shah Stanford University | Class of 2024 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhavyashah125/
