Ok so I am not sure if it's just a change with the #NVDA 2025 update or not, but my method of making sure my #BrailleDisplay wakes when I reconnect it, leaving focus on the system tray clock, has stopped working. The time will still be read when it updates but if the display has just reconnected it will not change off just reading "braille display", which as long as that's all that is being shown you cannot use the display to input anything. If anyone has thoughts of a setting or add-on that will make it so I can be sure the display will fully wake and accept input when reconnecting I'm all ears.

Ok @main @mastoblind give me your suggestions for must have #NVDA add-ons. I operate my PC completely with a #BrailleDisplay over bluetooth, and have the Braille Extender, Resource Monitor, and Windows Essentials add-ons that I remember. If an add-on is not in the store please include a link.

Ok for my more up to date tech inclined #blind people, is CCleaner still a valid tool, is it #accessible, and does it work with #NVDA? @mastoblind in c/[email protected]

Ok @mastoblind what do people use for their mastodon client on Windows with #NVDA? I have tried the web client but it's so so cluttered and there's no way to move through the feeds quickly. I'm in c/[email protected]

@main @mastoblind So I ended up using DragonsCave itself installed As a PWA with the advanced web interface enabled.

Edit: Turned the advanced web interface off as it made reading replies clunky.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Any idea why boosting is not going through? I boosted a few things and when I checked on my phone they were not.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind With the display and braille extender the hotkeys do not work, and most of them still do not but I can arrow down my feed without it stopping on every mention, link, and button.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Ok lol logged in, hotkeys did not work, realized I was in focus mode, had to look up how to get out of it with the display, realized most of my problems with the standard client were because of that…'

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Not at all, I would rather a Web App over installing software, I looked through the windows store before asking but the options were scarce.

@KaraLG84 @main @mastoblind That one I have looked at before and am not sure where you get it, it's a GitHub thing?

@main @NVAccess So if this is a known thing I cannot find it, when closing some applications, Edge for example, with alt+f4 #NVDA does not focus anything afterward and instead just says "Window" which is also displayed on my braille display as a window marker and blank otherwise. This blank window requires using alt+tab, the windows key, or the like to get out of.

@main @mastoblind Update on my #miniPC, it has been the best experience I have had with a computer since becoming #blind. has been up almost constantly for the not quite 2 weeks I have had it, only restarting for updates and such, it's happy as a clam to just be left alone and do its thing.

@fastfinge Yeah maybe, the machine I got should be able to handle some of that.

@mastoblind Ok anyone know if there's a screen saver type add on for #NVDA that will update focus? Due to either something with NVDA itself, or just good old #Microsoft being stupid it appears in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

@main @mastoblind I did find making sure the focus is over the system clock when disconnecting the display and leaving the PC idle does work for this, the clock causes #NVDA to update every minute which will update the display and bring it back to working without needing to do anything with the qwerty.

@main @mastoblind Ok anyone know if there's a screen saver type add on for #NVDA that will update focus? Due to either something with NVDA itself, or just good old #Microsoft being stupid it appears that #BrailleDisplay connected over bluetooth cannot clear screen savers, or do really anything after being disconnected for any amount of time without first moving the focus via something like a Qwerty keyboard. All that's needed is something that would overlay a few objects after nothing has updated focus for a bit, and then just juggle it between them.

@mastoblind @NVAccess is there a way to have #NVDA input commands like Win+I or Alt+F4 when operated with a #BrailleDisplay? I cannot find an option to do this. (dragonscave.space)
