Comment 2 by jteh on 2013-01-08 22:21 If you mean everywhere, applications should implement this themselves and in fact many do. |
Comment 3 by ateu (in reply to comment 2) on 2013-01-08 22:28
What applications, for example? I don't know any application that do this. |
Comment 4 by jteh (in reply to comment 3) on 2013-01-08 22:35
Notepad, Notepad++ and Microsoft Word, to name a few. |

Alright, but where this feature doesn't exists, if you implemente, will help to move through large texts if the user knows the number of the line or if it has marked something. |

Why should this be needed more by a screen reader user than any other user? In other words, why should it be a core screen reader feature rather than a feature of the application?
Performance will be a problem for many controls, depending on the accessibility API they use. |

Easiness. This is the key word. Sicted persons can easily find a text or any place in the document using the mouse and your eyes. |

True to an extent, although they still have to scroll. In any case, any decent text editor will have a find command and quite a lot have a go to line command. I'm also very reluctant to implement something that will perform badly under certain circumstances; e.g. large line numbers. |
Personally, I am not convinced about the need for a dedicated jump to line feature in NVDA:

For the record, I am not so sure if I still agree with #2918 (comment). The original ticket mentioned that there is an add-on packaging this functionality. Is a version of the same compatible with recent versions of NVDA available? If so, I would appreciate if someone could share its link. |
@bhavyashah My Percentage Checker add-on has such functionality, but don't expect miracles - jumping to lines can, as @jcsteh mentioned above, be pretty slow depending on the length of the text. |
Thank you so much for sharing, Łukasz. I will keep that qualification
in mind. I don't need this functionality right away, but I think it
might come in handy for some tasks I shall be doing in the near
future.

I think it's useful when reading documents, when we want to jump to a given line.
There is already an add-on, but I think this feature should be in the main distribution.
