nvda speaks too mutch when i press ctrl+l. i just want listen to the current page url without lossing my page position etc.
i disagree. why buffer can not contain "source" field where such info might be stored? for example, if we implement virtual buffer for the word documents, it will contain document file name.
it is why i suggest thus field in virtual buffer internally. if in some situations it is hard to determine source, "unknown" might be reported. |

It could, but I'd argue this isn't correct. This information is internal to the buffer, whereas you basically want the location that is visible to everyone else. Most of the time, these should be the same, but not always.
We will probably never use the same virtual buffer concept for Word. Besides, in Word, you can just hit NVDA+t to access this info anyway. |

I'm leaning towards a close, since this ticket is abandoned for a long time. Furthermore, after you've read the web address in the address bar by pressing alt+d or control+l, you can usually switch back to where you were using shift+f6. |

subj. for example, in jaws it is attached on ctrl+a. i believe we can generalize this to read location bar in current application. just implement different methods in explorer and firefox to receive this info.
