For a quick reading, moving paragraph by paragraph is very efficient. Nevertheless, not all application support this command. NVDA could allow this moving in native.

Usually, when a control doesn't support paragraph movement commands, the control itself doesn't have a concept of paragraphs. In any case, this would need to be addressed on a case by case basis.

Did you have a specific application/control in mind?

It would be useful if this could be implemented in browse mode.

This is discussed in #7052 which talks about moving by paragraph in notepad and #3970 talks about selecting text in notepad with CTRL+Shift+Up/Down if this is the application that was in mind.
It is already possible to move by paragraph in browse mode by pressing CtRL+Up/Down, but #4904 discusses skipping empty lines in browse mode.
CC @derekriemer and @jcsteh for any additional comments.

Unfortunately, the original author of this ticket is now out-of-reach and he/she did not respond to @jcsteh's v about any specific application for which paragraph navigation was being requested so as to narrow the scope of this ticket. As @ehollig notes as well, implementing additional paragraph navigation for browse mode may be redundant since Ctrl+up/down arrows works perfectly well for that, doesn't it? Thus, I suggest closing this ticket with a request to open new tickets for paragraph navigation support on a case-by-case (application specific) basis. @ehollig

Closing, as we are unable to contact the original poster and the specific application requested was not mentioned. Any request for paragraph navigation support will be addressed on an application specific basis.

It also works in apps like word.
