Screen Wrapping

This add-on brings the screen wrapping feature to nvda.
Screen wrapping is a feature that makes the screen reader go automatically to the top of the page
and vice versa when no more quick navigation items are available in the direction you are going in while using the single letter navigation keys. This functionality extends to the nvda find dialog as well.

usage

The use of this add-on is simple, all you have to do is follow the steps below:

  1. Install the add-on
  2. Go and try to navigate the web using the single letter navigation keys, or try to do a search using NVDA+CTRL+F (default gesture). Note: in a search the wrapping functionality is dependent on the check box in the find dialog. If the wrap around check box is checked, then continuing a search with nvda+F3/NVDA+SHIFT+F3 will allow you to wrap around, otherwise it falls back to standard behaviour.
  3. You can toggle screen wrapping on or off using nvda+h. Note: you can change the gesture used here from the NVDAInputGestures manager, you will find it under the browse mode category.
