[nvda] Re: Some random thoughts

Alt tabbing to an open skype chat window is a good example. It does not really need to announce pane after reading the title of the window when it gains focus. Perhaps a verbosity level setting would be a nice feature to add in sometime in the future. Everyone is going to have differences of opinion when it comes to what NVDA should and shouldn't speak. So, perhaps giving the users a bit of control over verbosity would help. There are of course settings for verbosity in the virtual buffers but not for NVDA as a whole. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Teh" <jamie@xxxxxxxxxxx>

What is an example of the case you describe, quoted below. Are you talking about moving from one program to another or to another window in a program

from a help treeview to the topic being displayed?
I actually can't find an example of the case I described, so I may be wrong about this. I do seem to remember seeing this before, but can't find an example now. However, I did find a case where focusing on an unknown window type just says "pane" when tabbing in an application called ExpressTalk. If "pane" were silenced completely, tabbing on to this control would simply say nothing, as it does with JAWS. Imho, this is unacceptable; the control might be unknown, but it would be good to know that one had at least tabbed on to a control.
