in laptop mode i press capslock shift m to route the mouse then capslock left bracket to click it.

[JAWS-Users] How Do I Use NVDA on Clickable Elements within a Web Page?
Hello, Ok, I can't believe the free NVDA screen reader is able to read a clickable element on a web page that JAWS wasn't able to see at all? Now my problem is trying to get the NVDA mouse tracking function to Route pointer to the browse cursor? In JAWS I would press [Insert]+[- on numpad] to route JAWS cursor to virtual cursor and left click (That's if JAWS saw the clickable element which it doesn't.) So in NVDA, I'm navigating the web page using the arrow keys in Browse mode. Then I land on the clickable element which is contained in a table cell. I need the mouse pointer to left click it. Tried pressing [Insert]+[/ on Numpad] then hitting [/ on numpad] to do this but it's not working. Does NVDA have a special way of activating a clickable element on a web page? And no, pressing the [Enter] key doesn't work. Must use the mouse pointer to left click it. The element isn't a conventional link or banner. It's a graphic created by a JAVA script of some type. Am I'm even using the right steps? If I'm able to do this successfully, I'm going to think twice before investing another $140+ on my JAWS SMA when it expires. It's obvious the programmers of NVDA are more in tuned on providing useful functions to users of their screen reader in their updates.
