[nvda] Re: Chrome etc

Did you try it by bringing up the bookmarks bar with control shift B, then pressing alt shift B to put focus in the bookmarks bar? If so and once you are focused on the bookmarks bar, you can just press tab and it will go through the bookmarks you have in there. You can also press your applications key on any bookmark you are focused on and you will see quite a few more options you can do with a bookmark in that menu. Also if you put yourself in the bookmarks bar with alt+shift+B, and you decide you do not want anything from there, you can just press the escape key and it will jump out of the bookmark bar back to where you were.

There are some things that are different from FF3 but accessibility on
it seems to be ok with NVDA for the most part.

Does NVDA work with FireFox 4?

Actually you can do so with the following:
To add a bookmark, press control+D
It pops up a dialog asking you to name it etc.
You should be able to tab through the controls in this dialog and add a 
bookmark just fine. Once you have some bookmarks added, bring up the
bookmarks bar.
To bring up the bookmark bar, press control+shift+B
When you have the bookmark bar active, you can press alt+shift+B and it will put focus in the bookmark bar. If you tab around there, you should see the bookmarks you have saved. Choose the bookmark you want and press enter. The only issue I see is there is no audio feedback to tell you if 
the bookmark bar is opened or closed. It would be nice to see if NVDA
can say something like bookmark bar opened, bookmark bar closed or
something like that. However you can still tell if the bookmark bar is
open or not by pressing alt+shift+B, and if nothing happens such as it
focusing on a bookmark, then it is obviously closed.

The biggest problem for me was that it wasn't all that accessible to
get your favorites.

Hi there

Nvda only has initial support for google chrome. You needed to
download
a copy of it I think it ws called the developers copy.
Last time I tried it I could jump around by headings etc but needed
work
on edit fields etc. Not sure it that is work to be done by chrome
or the
nvda developers. But they will get there. Your old version of jaws
probably will ot work with chrome no support.
Nvda will work with internet explorer, mozilla firefox, sea monkey and 
flock. There may be more, but not sure. Full support for chrome
will get
there sooner or later.

Hi All

I recently downloaded Chrome because, well, I had to.
I'm using a very old version of jaws i.e 5.3 which in turn, forces
me to
use an outdated version of i e il.e 6.1.
This version of jaws does not work well with Chrome.
I've yet to download nvda, since I'm waiting to put together a new
desktop for that purpose.
It would be useful to know how nvda works with Chrome.
By the way, I assume we're talking about google, chrome.

Subject: [nvda] Chrome etc

I recently happened upon the comments below about this browser,
and as
it
contains a lot of useful links I decided to post it here. Note that
although
nvda is mentioned, on reading more of the stuff on the access
groups on
Google, it looks like most of the reporters are using the Apple
version
with
voice over, so it would not go amiss if those whith the
inclination and
the
time, something I'm a little short of at the moment, could add nvda
problems
as well.

starts here...

I'm starting a new topic to talk about Chrome for anyone who's
interested.

As I said before, you can try it today with NVDA or VoiceOver, and
we'll
let

you know as soon as support for other screen readers is ready.

Chrome has three channels: stable, beta, and dev. While the stable
version
is recommended for most users, please use the dev channel version for 

accessibility. The reason is that it's the most up-to-date, and
when we
fix

a bug or add a new feature for screen reader support, you'll be
able to
try

it out in just a few days. Click here for the link to download the
dev

channel version:

http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

On Windows, use F6 to focus the main toolbar and other accessible
toolbars

and panes. You can find more keyboard shortcuts here:
http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=2

Bug reports are the most helpful if you let me know the URL of the
page
you

were visiting when you had the problem.

- Dominic

The edit field bug has been fixed - it should work when the dev
channel

version is next updated. In the meantime, there's a temporary
workaround:

type at least one character into the field, press Tab to focus
something

else, then Shift+Tab to focus the edit field again - then it should
work

great, you'll get proper feedback as you type, move the cursor, or
select.

We'll definitely improve the sluggishness over time. I think we've
already

improved it a bit over the version released now.

Thanks for reporting the problem with the initial search engine
select

dialog. I filed a new bug for this and we'll fix it soon.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=76834

You also found a problem with the window that tells you to type
locations
and to search from the location bar. This window is a tip pop-up that 
only

appears the first time Chrome starts; I filed another bug for this
one:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=76835
Once that tip is closed, and every time you start Chrome from now on, 

everything in the toolbar should be accessible - could you be more
specific

about wasn't working or what was confusing?
