@vgjh2005: Would you be able to reword your initial comment a bit? I'm afraid I don't completely understand what you were trying to say. |
Hi: |
Windows has a feature called mouse keys which allows you to control the mouse with the keyboard. Furthermore, you can route and click and hold the mouse with NVDA, which allows you to drag and drop with the mouse. I still don't see why supporting a scroll wheel would be helpful. Scroll wheels aren't available on laptops, for example. cc @Qchristensen, what do you think about this from a visual/low vision perspective? |
Hi:

Does golden cursor help with this at all? |
Derek, no, golden cursor doesn't emulate or do anything with the mouse wheel. I must admit I'm not exactly sure what use case the original poster has in mind either? You could use Windows' mouse keys to select and drag an item. The question then is, are there any situations where either the program in question or NVDA cannot provide a keyboard alternative, and if so, is it worth implementing our own version of it, over directing affected users to the Windows feature? |
Hi: |
@vgjh2005, For unregular ui(for example don't support MSAA/UIA/IA etc.), NVDA would not report the mouse position even if you scroll down with the wheel. So I think this is actually not possible to implement because the application itself needs to provide some information in order for the accessibility API to interpret it correctly. I think you want inaccessible applications to become more accessible through scrolling functionality and saving mouse positions. Right? I don't know if display model would improve such applications. But at least such applications like samplitude are made to be used together with a coresponding audio interface. So I think with such interfaces you could change the controls without using the mouse. |

Hi:
Sometimes, I find some control, the keyboard cannot control the focus, such as pressing the arrors key or PageUp etc.but the screen review mode can browse it. So, I only browse the current content in the screen. If can add the rool action for those controls? However, Emulating the mouse wheel function is a way to solve the problem. Thanks!
