Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- Open the task manager in Windows 10 (control+shift+escape)
- Navigate through the objects (Either in the original "Fewer details" view, or the main processes view of "More details")
NVDA reads:
List of items data grid
List of items list
Process: Google Chrome
then when you press down arrow:
List of items data grid
List of items list
Process: Microsoft Word
and again:
List of items data grid
List of items list
Process: Firefox
(the process name changes, but the other information is read before every item.)
Describe the solution you'd like
NVDA should read the list type (is it a data grid or a list?) only once, the first time the focus moves to this section. Each time down arrow is pressed, only the process should be reported.
Ideally, the name should be read first and then process.
(On opening the window or tabbing to the list):
List of items list (I assume it is a list called "List of items" or something similar?)
Google Chrome, process.
then on down arrow
Microsoft Word, process
Firefox, process
etc
Ideally the process name should be read before identifying it as a process. Otherwise, as you down arrow you hear "process, process, process".
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, the quickest way to have the process name read is to:
- Press down arrow to move to the next process
- Quickly press numpad 8 / NVDA+shift+. to read the current line in review.
