I think this is not a good idea, since we can shortly to change the review mode with command keys.

Well, what we can do with the new profile system is set the "braille follow ..." setting for a specific application. Which is very useful, I think: we can specify that the Windows Command Line (cmd.exe) be configured with a profile "braille follow review", whereas in Firefox or Foobar, the Braille should follow the system cursor.

Therefore, since for some applications it's more than usual to switch between review modes to read it (MUD client or some IRC clients need text review, the Windows or Python console do not), it'd be good to be able to set this in a profile. Before the switching between review modes existed, when the focused changed (by pressing alt + TAB for different windows), the flat review was automatically disabled and we had to press CTRL+PAVNUM7 again when we switched back to the application. Now we have to press CTRL+PAVNUM1 each time we press alt+TAB, if we use applications that need different review modes to be navigated through.

That's something I often do and I'm aware that a lot of NVDA users won't be in that case. On the other hand, it could be developed without disturbing anyone (and improve configuration for those, like me, who extensively use review modes for specific applications). Perhaps the setting could be set but not configured directly in the setting window? We would have to load a profile, press CTRL+PAVNUM7 and then save the profile to integrate it. Just a proposal.

I agree on this matter. With braille, i'd like to use focus tethered to review, but in some applications screen review gives extremely bad results, where object review works well, and vise versa. It's a bit annoying to have to change de review mode all the time and not being able to predefine or save it.

At least on the surface, this feature request makes sense to me. Simply put, review modes should be attachable to configuration profiles. Please change labels from enhancement to feature. @ehollig

@LeonarddeR actually now the braille tether is profile specific, so users could specify the tether to review for some applications at least for braille.
For speech, I would rather discuss further on #7749. I would vote for closing this one in favor of #7749.

More discussion is in #7749. Closing this in favor of the referenced request.
