Hi Ian, Ah, I stand corrected then. You are correct. I am using a laptop with NVDA in laptop keyboard mode so that is why NVDA+shift+s doesn't work. Upon checking the keyboard reference it is NVDA+shift+z which is why it didn't work for me. So apparently I owe Ishan an apology as it was my mistake not his. However, thanks for correcting me as it is both useful information to know, and I hate making false statements even though I had a legitimate excuse at the time.
Cheers!
