NVDA reading keys (self.Blind)
submitted by vedfer
I have found reading by paragraph rather than line or sentence or say all to be about right for me. In Jaws I could read with one hand by using the p key. I am using a laptop. I have not found any way to read with one hand in NVDA. This means I drink less coffee so ultimatly I am a slower reader.
NVDA seems to match or surpass jaws with many features and keystrokes. I am surprised the p paragraph key was left out. Is there any way I could add this in?

it said the keystroke for text nav was shift alt down arrow. I was looking for one handed reading. For the most common functions I like to use simple keystrokes.

Don't forget that any keystrokes can be reassigned. You might not be able to use P, but you could use control down arrow instead, which can be done with one hand on most keyboards.

I use a laptop which does not allow a one handed control down arrow. By the way, when you say reassign keys do you mean with a sysstem utility or within NVDA? I have thought that the ability to reassign keyboard shortcuts would be a good addition to NVDA and solve my problem.

Have you had a look at the preferences menu lately? You've been able to reassign keyboard keys for years through there.

Try $1
.The text nav and sentence nav addons are probably what you want.
But I agree it's kinda weird that it's not already built in.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been checking there periodically for a few years but the is the first time I've been in luck. The browser nav add on seems do do exactly what I as looking for.

The problem with that one is that it only really works online, I think text nav works everywhere.
