Blind Main@rblind.com•Ok so does anyone know why with #NVDA I cannot send an email in #Outlook? I hit reply, type the email, and cannot exit the edit area and find the send button. Latest release builds of Windows 11 pro,

1·4 months ago@techsinger @main @NVAccess ah see I did not even know those were hotkeys, the last time I used Outlook on PC I could see, and it was the old Mail app on Windows 10, so that would likely be the issue. Though I could not leave the edit field at all which was odd, like what if I needed to check the recipient info?

Blind Main@rblind.com•Ok for my more up to date tech inclined #blind people, is CCleaner still a valid tool, is it #accessible, and does it work with #NVDA? @mastoblind
0·7 months ago@Boomkop3 Ah I was using it right up until I lost my sight in early 2020

Blind Main@rblind.com•Ok @mastoblind what do people use for their mastodon client on Windows with #NVDA? I have tried the web client but it's so so cluttered and there's no way to move through the feeds quickly. I'm
1·7 months ago@main @mastoblind So I ended up using DragonsCave itself installed As a PWA with the advanced web interface enabled.
Edit: Turned the advanced web interface off as it made reading replies clunky.

1·8 months ago@Kaliah @main @mastoblind With the display and braille extender the hotkeys do not work, and most of them still do not but I can arrow down my feed without it stopping on every mention, link, and button.

1·8 months ago@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Ok lol logged in, hotkeys did not work, realized I was in focus mode, had to look up how to get out of it with the display, realized most of my problems with the standard client were because of that…’

2·8 months ago@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Not at all, I would rather a Web App over installing software, I looked through the windows store before asking but the options were scarce.

2·8 months ago@KaraLG84 @main @mastoblind That one I have looked at before and am not sure where you get it, it’s a GitHub thing?

Blind Main@rblind.com•@mastoblind Update on my #miniPC, it has been the best experience I have had with a computer since becoming #blind. has been up almost constantly for the not quite 2 weeks I have had it, only
1·8 months ago@main @mastoblind going on 3 weeks, extremely happy with it.

Blind Main@rblind.com•Ok, @mastoblind so I have a quandary, I got a new PC, it works great, I have been using it ton with #NVDA and my #BrailleDisplay, and I have realized I have no clue what to do with a PC… I have
1·8 months ago@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Android so no Siri here lol, yeah my Bi40x is what I use to operate my PC.

2·8 months ago@fastfinge Yeah maybe, the machine I got should be able to handle some of that.
D.Hamlin.Music@dragonscave.spaceOPto
Blind Main@rblind.com•@mastoblind @NVAccess is there a way to have #NVDA input commands like Win+I or Alt+F4 when operated with a #BrailleDisplay? I cannot find an option to do this.
1·8 months ago@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Yeah, I found that placing the focus over something like the system clock prevents it from requiring pulling out the qwerty keyboard to get the display working after a few hours, the object updating every minute seems to be enough to get the display out of just showing “braille display” when it reconnects and I enter terminal mode. It just seems to need something to trigger the focus enough to need it to update the display.
D.Hamlin.Music@dragonscave.spaceOPto
Blind Main@rblind.com•@mastoblind Ok anyone know if there's a screen saver type add on for #NVDA that will update focus? Due to either something with NVDA itself, or just good old #Microsoft being stupid it appears
2·8 months ago@main @mastoblind I did find making sure the focus is over the system clock when disconnecting the display and leaving the PC idle does work for this, the clock causes #NVDA to update every minute which will update the display and bring it back to working without needing to do anything with the qwerty.

1·8 months ago@NVAccess @main @mastoblind This a applies to screen savers as well, the braille display cannot wake the PC from it.

1·8 months ago@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Ok so the braille display not working on secure screens I’m thinking is a microsoft being stupid issue, I realize that this also happened when using a display over USB with narrator itself, bet they are blocking peripherals beyond m&k from interacting with those. The issue where the display is unable to do anything when the PC is first turned on, or has been disconnected for more than like 10min until something is pressed on the qwerty however seems to be #nvda, I checked all the bluetooth and power settings and they are correct.

1·8 months ago@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Oh additionally if the PC is left idle for a while or restarts the braille display will just read “braille display” until focus is moved with the qwerty.
@techsinger @main @NVAccess Tried the F6 ones and nothing, can never remember how object nav works, I tried both browse and focus modes without luck.
