Application Specific Add-ons

Bittorrent Sync

1. Provides a hotkey (CTRL+Alt+Tab) to set focus to the tab control of the main dialog or the folder preferences dialog. The user can then use left-right arrow keys to move between tabs and the tab key to jump to the body of the tab as normal.
2. Prevents list view objects from firing multiple focus events. Without this fix, NVDA would repeat the currently focused list item of some list views incessantly.
3. Allows the user to use the Applications key or Shift-F10 key combination to open the context menu for the currently selected item in a list view.
4. Labels some edit boxes within the program that have incorrect or no labels.

How to make NVDA read Emoji

NVDA cannot read the Japanese emoticons, also known as Emoji but there is a file that can be downloaded to add this functionality. Simply follow the steps outlined below to get your copy of NVDA up and going with this new feature.

1. Download the symbols-en.dic file, or this zip file containing it
2. Browse to the file you have downloaded and either cut, copy or extract the downloaded file to the clipboard.
3. Browse to your NVDA user folder either by using the "Explore NVDA user configuration directory" option in the start menu or manually with Windows Explorer.
1. In Windows XP, the path is "C:\Documents and Settings\username\application data\NVDA"
2. In Windows 7 and later, the path is "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\nvda"
3. To get to the appdata folder, simply type "%appdata%" into the run dialog box
4. Paste the file that you have downloaded into this directory.
5. Restart NVDA.
