@main @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.
@main @mastoblind @NVAccess additionally, even after enabling #NDA on the login screen it refuses all input from a connected braille display, preventing unlocking the PC. Also, interacting with Windows UAC dialogues does not work either, and was not accepting qwerty input, which meant to place focus on the desired choice required someone to move focus with the mouse.
Windows 11 Pro 2024h2 latest updates, and latest version of NVDA downloaded today.
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind By latest version of NVDA, do you mean 2024.4.2 - or the 2025.1 beta? Also which braille display are you using?
@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Assuming April 2024, whatever one is downloaded from the main download page, and using a Bi40x, the display connects and shows the information o the lock screen, but cannot move focus or do anything itself.
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind I can’t readily see an issue similar to that - would you be able to write one up please?
@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Yeah I will try and get to that, the consistant things are that any screen that is flagged as secure cannot be acted on by the #brailledisplay, even if #nvda is running with elevated permissions, examples are the lock screen and the windows UAC dialogues, such as the one that pops when giving NVDA permission to run on the lock screen. Saving a config to use on secure screens did not make any difference.
@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Ok found this issue being reported back over a decade. https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2315
I found a handful of others that were closed for being duplicates of this original issue, or one of a couple other identical ones.
@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind is this a new issue for you though? I got the impression this just started happening?
@NVAccess @main @mastoblind Not sure, this is the first time I have had a working PC and time to get the display set up with it and NVDA, but this happened’ right away. Best I can tell is it’s the same issue. Also where do I go to clear the secure screen profile, cannot figure that out, do not need it if it’s not fixing this.
