Hi Greg, this feature has been in an add-on for awhile, but it only just came into NVDA itself in NVDA 2019.3. For those not familiar with NVDA, it's a free screen reader, which is available from: www.nvaccess.org/ To keep up to date with what is new with NVDA and NV Access (the organisation who make NVDA), you can also follow the In-Process blog: www.nvaccess.org/category/in-process/ Also, the focus highlight Greg passed on the "Vision" settings screen is another new feature which was previously an add-on, it displays a coloured box around the current object on screen as a visual aid.

Thanks Quinten. Being totally blind, I had no idea what those other settings were. I’ve seen you in some of the blind tech groups, do you work with NVAccess?

Yes Greg, your screen did go black says my audience. Well done good chap, keep up the great work and thanks for the NVDA secret.

Thanks for letting me know. I don’t think there is a shortcut to toggle it on and off.

Not quite a secret, lol. It's been around (along with FocusHighlight) as an NVDA add-on since 2018. 2019.3 switched over completely to Python3, breaking the backward compatibility but bringing the curtain and highlighting cursors in visual context with it. I usually don't use those. Others will though.

@@BlindGuyShow There is Not Currently a KeyStroke for that yet. It's located in Input Gestures > Vision branch. Tap the soon-to-be-defined command once to use it just for this session of NVDA; Tap it twice quickly to always use it. There is not a Run button in the Input Gestures to perform a command straightaway, unlike the digital audio workstation Reaper in its Actions dialog box.
