Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Microsoft Word offers natively the possibility of formatting the entered text with styles/headings with levels going up to 9. A structure of such density is often required by complex scientific publications in an academic context. While NVDA is able to recognize any level of heading, it is currently not possible to navigate directly to a heading beyond level 6 using the digits in the top row of the keyboard.

Describe the solution you'd like

To add the ability to use numbers 7-9 to navigate to headings at the corresponding levels just as it can be done for preceeding levels. JAWS, for instance, offers such a feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It is possible to navigate to these headings using the H key, this however, force sthe user to navigate through all of the headings on the way which slows down the navigation.
