I have also not encountered the credentials going stale issue. It might be worth clearing your browser cache (remember when we had to do that to fix ANYTHING? I have barely needed to do that in the last year or so, but it comes up occasionally).

Re navigating, the list of posts works ok - you can press H to jump from one post to the next. When you actually go into a post, the UI breaks down a bit. Mostly because (for me at least), n doesn’t seem to work to jump to the next non-linked text where it should (as in the body of motobojo’s post, or any replies). The “Skip to content” button also doesn’t seem to work - it comes up as the first item on the page, but you can’t activate it?

We’re going to be there all week. We are presenting in “Orange County 1-2” at 2:20pm on Thursday 21st March.

Uh, thanks?

We try to prioritise features and fixes that will have the most positive impact on the largest number of users. Not all features are used by every user, but there’s usually SOMETHING for everyone in each release.

I’m glad it sounds like we got some things in there for you this time around anyway!

Is it this one: “Added an experimental option to leverage the UIA notification support in Windows Terminal to report new or changed text in the terminal, resulting in improved stability and responsivity. (#13781) Consult the user guide for limitations of this experimental option.”

We don’t normally link directly to updated files in the what’s new, it’s really just to let you know what is new so you can try it out when you download the update. The easiest way is to open the user guide from the help menu - in this way, if you are using NVDA in a language other than English, you will also get the updated translation (if it is there yet).

To get to the file without downloading the beta, it’s a little roundabout, but you can go to the linked issue, and from there to the PR (“seanbudd closed this as completed in #14047 on Oct 25, 2022”: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/14047 From there, go to files, and you will find the user guide as one of them, and you can view the file, which links me here: https://github.com/leonardder/nvda/blob/f6f6563b6872ec82b095ef9a930606b8d10e7f27/user_docs/en/userGuide.t2t

The raw file doesn’t have neat little links but if you search for “Windows terminal”, there aren’t too many other references.

If you run the new version / beta / alpha etc, you can pull up the user guide for that version from the help menu. The info in the release announcement / on the what’s new page is more designed to show you what has changed. Maybe I’m not quite understanding what you are after though?

You can use it now with NVDA 2023.2 Beta 1 which is currently available: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2023-2beta1/

I must admit I haven’t looked into using track changes on Libre Office lately. I did find the Libre Office keystrokes here: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/04/01020000.html What I was going to say was that The Document Foundation (makes of Libre Office) have hired Michael Weghorn as a developer focusing on accessibility of Libre office: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2023/07/04/welcome-michael-weghorn-new-developer-at-tdf/ We’ve worked with Michael for awhile now, although only when he was available to donate some time. Hopefully this will mean great things for Libre Office accessibility moving forward!

You’re welcome! Sorry, I meant to post it here myself and then, I can’t remember, got caught up in something else. But glad you found it!

Well I must admit, the massive shortcomings of search on Mastodon are extremely frustrating. So anything which helps is good!

I’ve never really used lists - on Twitter or Mastodon. I have a memory on Twitter at least, of having to be following a person before you could add them to a list - but then you saw their tweets in your normal timeline AND that list, so what was the point? Or maybe I just never understood how you were supposed to use the function.

To be honest, that’s the bit I really don’t understand. I’m used to one site = one account. So, if I (worked out how to) added RBlind to my Mastadon account… I would get every post and comment in my Mastodon feed? I can sort of see where that could be useful, I guess, but then there would be a lot of extra posts and comments to skip over wouldn’t there be? (Ok here isn’t as busy yet as say it was previously on Reddit, but I expect it will keep growing)

Hi Miah and everyone! I went bull in a china shop and posted my own intro separately, but I’ll jump in here too :) It’s Quentin from NV Access here. I was in the old Reddit community and followed the migration over here too, just as we did from the bird site to Mastodon :) I specifically try to keep an eye out for any NVDA related questions or posts, but am happy to jump in on anything else I might be able to contribute to as well :)
