<p>If you use NVDA you can try my GoogleDocs add-on. It simplifies
Google Docs keystrokes. For example to jump to the next table
you'd need to just press T - consistent with jump to table command
everywhere else.</p>

God. Now if only they could make keyboard navigation in general
easier. For example, I can't navigate a table in a Google Doc,
because the multi-key, multi-press keystrokes are too complex to
hold in working memory while I'm also thinking about the table.

<div><span>Greetings to all:</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Starting today, May 1, 2024, first-letter
navigation has been released by Google for
widespread use by the public. First-letter
navigation is something for which some of us in
Colorado have been pushing for almost six years now.
We were repeatedly told by folks at Google that this
was simply not possible.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Well, Google has finally made this possible.
Check out the announcement at<span

<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>According to the announcement:</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>"Starting today, you can begin opting into
the new shortcuts immediately through a banner
notification in Drive or by going to Drive >
Settings > Keyboard shortcuts > Update now. On
August 1, 2024, Drive keyboard shortcuts will be
automatically updated to first-letters navigation
for all users. Once shortcuts are updated, you will
also be able to see shortcuts where applicable in
menus and on hover in toolbars in Drive."</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Anyone who has become accustomed to the
traditional Google Drive keyboard commands is
advised that many commands have changed to make way
for first-letter navigation. Honestly, I do not know
any other way Google could have pulled this off.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Kudos to the folks in the Colorado Governor's
Office of Information Technology for continuing to
press for this for more than six years despite
Google's claim that this simply could not be done.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
