At least as it seems best to me, this feature should be demonstrated and tested for some time as an add-on package and later be incorporated into core. This is a gentle ping to add-on developers to consider taking up this challenge if and when time, priorities and circumstance permits...

Even if it would exist, I doubt that it will work in every text editor. Maybe for MS Word it would be possible but actually MS Word has already functions to warn you in those cases.
Maybe @paulber007 has further suggestions.

Honestly, I'd rather see functionality that allows you to jump two formatting differences with quick navigation keys. I.e.

  • Bold text
  • Italic text
  • Font size
  • An option to jump to the next difference in font attributes

@LeonarddeR your suggestion is very interesting for me as well. I have discussed this in detail on the nvda community users list and also on the add-ons list. An example is in #7744 which however would depend on implementation of #7747.

I agree that if a feature like this would be developed, it is best distributed as an add-on. Therefore, I'm closing this one as won't fix for now. We could always reopen if there are valid reasons to do so.
