NVDA keyboard question (self.Blind)
submitted by aaronespinozaca
I have my Dell laptop running Windows 10. I downloaded the latest version of NVDA.
I can't click the left mouse, right mouse, and none of the move by line, word, or letters commands work.
The only way they work is if I press the number key pad to the right of the laptop. This is one of those laptops that you need to push down the function key to make the F key's work.
Yes NVDA is set to laptop layout. Please help this is annoying. I want to use the normal commands.

try switching keyboard modes in NVDA's settings, and also try hitting function plus escape.
Pressing the numlock key may help too.

Escape and function turned off having to hold down the function key and whatever F key I needed to use. Thanks.
The JAWS commands work fine to read by line, word, and character by not the NVDA ones.

Pretty sure you can turn off that function thing but I'm not sure how, I've been on mac for a few years now and only use windows occasionally. May want to check around in NVDA preferences, or even keyboard settings on the computer itself. May not even be an NVDA issue. My guess is its not, but better to cover all bases.
Hope that helps, at least a little bit.
