SPRITEs NVDA Add-on Tutorial

Changing both Row and Column Selection

Below is a similar table as the one you navigated before, but you could combine the gestures from the last two tutorials to access any cell in the table. Remember, after activating SPRITEs mode, the keys graav, tab, capslock, left shift will map to row 1 to 4, and the keys 1, 2, 3 will map to column 1 to 3, respectively. In order to access a cell at a certain row and column, you can either first select the row, then the column, or first select the column, then the row. You can also press B and SPRITEs will announce both the row and column number of the selected cell. After you get the browse mode cursor to the table below this text, press NVDA+SHIFT+T to activate SPRITEs mode in the table below, and try to access the cell at row 2 column 3 by first pressing tab to go to row 2, then the key 3 to go to column 3.
