[NFBCS] NVDA review mode

[Curtis Chong]

Tracy:

In NVDA, Review Mode is not a thing you turn on and off. Simply using the
keys on the number pad executes the NVDA reviewing functions. The arrow
keys, as in the arrow keys in the center section of the larger keyboard,
still function as they normally would. All of this can get a bit confusing
if one does not have a full-sized keyboard with a number pad.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Thanks Chris.  I tried this last night, and it worked; I was able to find
the info I was looking for.
Do you know if there's a command like the Jaws PC cursor, to get out of
review mode, or does it automatically stop once I stop using NVDA with the
arrow keys?

I'd like to know more about this as well. From what I can tell, you can use
the NVDA-key+Page-up and Page-down to change review modes and then
NVDA-key+Up-arrow and Down-arrow to move around in that review mode. Screen
review mode seems to be the closets to JAWS cursor mode.

I have read about the NVDA review mode in the manual a few times, and I
still don't get it.  Is there a keystroke in NVDA similar to "route Jaws to
PC", after which I can cursor around and explore the screen, then use
another keystroke to return to what Jaws calls the PC cursor?

Or can someone recommend somewhere to read about the NVDA review mode that
explains it better than the manual?

Tracy
