NVDA users, what are some must know keyboard shortcuts? (self.Blind)
submitted by IcedMelt
Generally speaking, but also related to web browsing and articles? Thanks.

NVDA+F12 reads out the time. Double tap it and it reads out the date. I use this one at least a hundred times per day.

​

NVDA+C will read out what you currently have copied on the clipboard, if anything. Very handy.

​

Pro tip: The python console can function as a nice accessible calculator app if you have a number pad on your keyboard. There's no keyboard shortcut to open it up by default but you can configure one in the settings.

Cool you can actually read what’s on the clipboard. Very useful feature.

Oh, werry nice. Ctrl+p adjusts spoken punctuation amount.

I have a question - how do you deal with copying something from cmd/terminal?

OP, have you have you ever heard of EYET screen reader curriculum? It teaches the basics of NVDA, Jaws, and Chromevox. They also have a free “cheatsheet” that might be resourceful for you.

You have to make an account to access the free materials.
