For some time, the quick navigation keystrokes in their current state have been unchanged, and new possibilities have not been explored. I propose the following:

  1. A key to move to the next/previous clickable element, even if reporting clickable elements is turned off.
  2. A key to move to the next paragraph or block of text. I have seen this implemented in an add-on on the French add-ons web site, (NVDA extension global plugin), but the add-on is somewhat unusable as the translation is poor. This would prove useful for persons who just want to read non-link plain text.
  3. A keystroke to move to the next division/region. Again, the above mention add-on has a good implementation of this.
    Maybe these commands can be unbound by default? Trust me, this is of good use to a power user like myself.

Replying to JamaicanUser:

  1. A key to move to the next/previous clickable element, even if reporting clickable elements is turned off.

We could consider this one. However, it's worth noting that this would often not work as expected because often, a much higher container is made clickable and it handles clicks in elements inside it.

  1. A key to move to the next paragraph or block of text.

This is already implemented: control+downArrow.

This would prove useful for persons who just want to read non-link plain text.

That's a different command again and is already implemented: the "n" key.

  1. A keystroke to move to the next division/region.

If you're just talking about HTML div tags, they are internal implementation details and usually aren't useful for navigation. It'd also be very difficult to explain waht this actually does to a user. On some sites, they might be used for big blocks of content. On other sites, every single link in a navigation bar might be a div.

Clickable quick nav is covered by #124. The others are addressed or not feasible; see above.
