Hello.
Try to use something like Eclipse. Easy, fast navigation.
Now, try Visual Studio. I don't have such fast navigation. Sometimes NVDA doesn't read the screen, and I have to open and close the Alt menu to fix.
Any decisions or advice?
Thanks in advance!

Or, save yourself $1000.00, and go to NVDA menu -> preferences -> settings -> advanced -> check Enable selective registration for UI Automation events and property changes. It's not perfect, but it's not perfect with JAWS either, so eh.

Jaws also reads more than NVDA, and that fix is very selective. It works sometimes and not others. Both fail to read regions which is frankly stupid especially since Jaws once did and now no longer does.

@3 thumbs up from me, I was going to suggest the exact same thing. It worked wonderfully for me, now I don't have lag atall when using visual studio with nvda. Disabling previewing also helps a lot, though I can't remember for the life of me where to find that setting now.

I have Jaws, I just can't use a standard synthesizer. But I'm ready to try.

Yeah, disabling preview is almost a must.

@GrannyCheeseWheel
Disabling preview? Where can I set it?

2021-05-26 07:39:13

OK, so go to tools, then click options.
Next, in the treeview, select tabs and windows.
then, uncheck the checkbox that says Allow new files to be opened in the preview tab.
Done!

Visual studio code works great with NVDA, just enable selective registration for UI Automation events and property changes in NVDA's advanced settings. If it still lags when you move through your source code, you can try to modify caret movement timeout (in ms) which is 100 ms by default if I remember correctly.
@9, that preview you're talking about is in Visual studio I asume? If it is not, than it confuses me, because I've no idea what it is in VSCode. If it is in Visual studio, please do not mix them, because it adds confusion this way.

You're the one that confused them, as we're talking about visual studio, not visual studio code.

OH, sorry, you're correct.
By the way settings that we mentioned should help reguardless.
