Do any NVDA users ever use annotation navigation (a) or error navigation (w) in browse mode? Every time I try to use the latter, it tells me it's not supported in the current document, and I don't remember the last time I even had the need or desire to use the former

Poking around in #joplin right now with NVDA. Their docs have a page on screen reader accessibility which is great. It explains the major sections of the editor which is very handy. Only thing is they make mention of some keyboard commands, but I can't actually find a docs page with said keyboard commands. The editor itself so far seems very promising. It's a little clunky to navigate. I was trying to hop around with f6 in focus mode, but it gets stuck a lot. Browse mode with web nav commands is definitely the way to go here. Lots of stuff seems to be labeled, I can move between notebooks in a tree view, notes within each notebook are in a list. Probably a lot better than kludging vscode for note-taking. I think I could get used to this. I really really really need keyboard shortcuts though

Looks like vscode no longer announces the current line and character when hitting ctrl+g, at least when using NVDA. Anybody know if there's an alternative method to get the current position?

I've been using IndentNav for a while to write Python. Recently I installed BrowserNav and now get way more positional info about HTML elements. It took some getting used to, but now the beeps and tones help me get an idea of the physical layout of a site or electron interface.
It's similar to IndentNav, but it has more rules and works with web browsers instead of being focused on code in a text editor. Positioning is one of the pieces of information that I forgot how much I miss from my sighted days. It's especially helpful with API reference docs that rely on positional encoding. Since there's more info in the browser, I only have beeps instead of precise indentation levels to get a general idea of the structure

Thank you to everyone who attended the World Blindness Summit & WBU General Assembly last week in São Paulo, Brazil. It was an honour for NV Access to attend, and to have NV Access General Manager, James Boreham and NV Access director Emma Bennison present. It was an informative and uplifting week and a chance to meet many new people and hear people's hopes for the future!
