When I check the Speak command keys checkbox in the keyboard settings, NVDA announces the arrow keys too. I think it disturbs the users. Is it possible to remove the arrow key announcing, or add a checkbox wherewith the users can be configure it?

Why are arrow keys special? They are still command keys.

Well, I agree that there should be no change here. If you are showing nvda to a complete novice, having things that do not speak merely as they are familia to the seasoned computer user is clearly not right to me, and its a minor irritation to the rest, that is all.

I think I tend to agree with @jcsteh in #2850 (comment). Arrow keys are still command keys and this should not be changed. Feel free to reopen if someone disagrees.

I think we are ignoring a very significant number of users by ignoring this, and thus should rethink it.

I also agree with @jcsteh and @ehollig on this matter. Note that JAWS in general has a weird way of handling key echo (e.g. it ties command key echo to the speak characters/words options)
