Universal Availability of Sentence Navigation #18901

Description

@waynderful

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

It is only possible to navigate by sentence when using Outlook and Word.

Describe the solution you'd like

Sentence navigation should be possible regardless of which app one is using. It should be just as easy to navigate by sentence when using Notepad or a browser, as it is when using Outlook and Word.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

This functionality is universally available in JAWS, Dolphin ScreenReader and Narrator. Somebody told me that the reason it is available in NVDA when using Word and Outlook, is that Microsoft Office has determined what constitutes a sentence. NVDA could use that same definition, a definition used by another screen-reader, or a definition based on the Sentence Nav add-on. If the commands currently in use are a barrier, change the commands.
