Hi Katherine,

 

The standard keyboard method of returning to a previous page in a browser is Alt + left arrow.

I would image that would still work when using NVDA. Forward would be … Alt + right arrow.

 

I hope that is helpful.

Best wishes,

 

Alex

Hi all,

 

Apologies for cross-posting

 

Can anyone who knows NVDA tell me how to use it to go back a page in a browser? I’m trying to assist a blind student who needs to search library databases and journals, and I’ve combed all the guides I can find to keyboard shortcuts in NVDA. The student can get back to the top of the page, but how does he then access the back button? Otherwise it’s a very laborious process of starting a search again from scratch.

 

Any advice welcome!

 

Thanks,

 

Katherine
