SPRITEs NVDA Add-on Tutorial

Scrolling

Now let’s try to navigate a bigger table. Below is a table with 8 rows and 3 columns. Note that this table contains more rows than there are keys available for row selection. However, you can scroll to the other set of rows by double pressing the left control key (the last row key), and then the keys will map to row 6 to 8 instead of row 1 to 5. To return to the previous set of rows, double press tilde (the first row key). For other tables with more columns, you can also scroll column-wise by double pressing keys 1 (the first column key) and = (equal, the last column key) to access the previous and next set of columns, respectively. After you get the browse mode cursor to the table below this text, press NVDA+SHIFT+T to activate SPRITEs mode, and try to access the cell at row 8 column 1 by double pressing left control (the last row key) to scroll to the next set of rows, then press capslock (the third row key) to go to row 8.
