nvda suddenly began announcing all input keystrokes
|
Brian Tew
It just began doing this today June 1. Input help is off; I cycled it to be sure.
Any ideas? Thanks.

What do you mean exactly? You are hearing NVDA announce the letters,

numbers, and punctuation as you type? You can change that behavior with NVDA+2 on the number row.

Speaking of NVDA+2 and NVDA+3, I have always wondered why those toggles are
assigned to separate keys. Combining them, as Jaws does, would free up NVDA+3 for something else.

Speak words but not characters. I don't think we have any four state toggles in NVDA; perhaps it was thought to be too cumbersome for a single key. Luke

Actually, I can think of two. NVDA+U cycles through four choices for dealing

with progress bars, and NVDA+P cycles through four levels of Symbol verbosity. Chris

If you think it is a good idea, look for and / or post an issue on their

github then mark it with a thumbs up to say you want it sooner than later. The more that mark your submission with the thumbs up or down reaction, , the more they can consider for a future release and sooner at that. I like the idea myself, but I'm not sure if that is doable at present.

You are talking evidently, about command keys, such as control,
enter, down arrow, etc. To change this behavior, open the keyboard
dialog, control NVDA k, and tab around.

You will get to speak command keys. It's a check box. Press the space bar to uncheck it. Press enter and the dialog will close. The setting is changed and if you are using default settings in this respect, when you shut down NVDA or close Windows, the setting will be permanently saved.

There is actually an easier way. It is nvda plus numrow 4. This will act as a toggle per the keyboard hint. This on laptop mode, dun no the desk top toggle. Sorry about that. Hopefully a quick glance at the QS will guide you in the right direction re the desktop command.
