Hello Nic Thanks for a well written response. We do try to read up when we have the opportunity. However, with running these groups, working for a living and other life-impacting issues, we don't have the time to sit on our asses reading computer software manuals. :)
Gordon is trying to get up to speed with NVDA because it's crucial that he does so. Provisionally, he starts work as a Brailleist, Braille transcriber/tutor, I.T. tutor and general I.T. adviser on 22 April at an academy of excellence not far from us. We're just awaiting the formalities, the CRB checks to come through and then it' all systems go. But I am rambling and way off topic. Gordon is trying to become the NVDA expert which you appear to be. And, whilst I am on, I thank you for your patient explanation Nic.

If you look in the user's guide, you'll see the tables containing all the navigation commands for the new layout if using the NVDA 2013.1 beta, or the NVDA snapshots. This is in section 5.4, Object Navigation. I use the desktop keys which seem to work while using the laptop layout also, but I've tried with the assigned object navigation keys for the desktop as well with either layout. You need to hold down the NVDA key, then use numpad 4 and 6 to move between objects, NVDA-numpad 8 to move to objects containing current navigator object, and NVDA-2 to move to first contained object. Using the numpad keys, I find it makes more sense and is easier to figure out, but this seems to work whether or not you're using the laptop or desktop layout, so it really doesn't seem to matter much. If you prefer, you can switch between the two key command sets on the fly without even switching layout, apparently. When you move the review cursor, you can press NVDA+numpad enter to activate an object, but you may need to use numpad 4 and 6 without the NVDA modifier to move to the part of the menu item you want to click. I hope that made sense! ======================================= To post to this group, please send your message to: [email protected] The Windows-Access E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit your personalise subscriber options page, located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/windows-access You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Windows-Access forum at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/windows-access/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
