Most Windows screen readers follow a broadly similar shortcut convention: For example "t" moves focus to the next table, "h" to the next heading, "l" to the next list, "g" to the next graphic and so forth. This behavior also makes it possible to navigate through content using shortcut keys that are native to the screen reader. Screen reader intercepts most keypresses before they reach the browser, triggering an interaction with the virtual document instead.įor example the left/right cursor keys are intercepted and used to move focus to the previous/next character in the content, and the up/down keys move focus to the previous/next line instead of scrolling the page. Note also that these keyboard shortcuts are for NVDA's desktop keyboard layout setting some shortcuts are different when using NVDA's laptop keyboard layout setting. If you have changed your settings, you may need to substitute the Caps Lock key in the place of the Insert key. In the tables below, the assumption is that the Insert key is being used as the NVDA modifier key.

By default, both the Numpad Insert key and the Extended Insert key are set as NVDA modifier keys, but users can designate the Caps Lock key as an additional NVDA modifier key. Note: Some keyboard shortcuts require using the NVDA modifier key.
