@mastoblind @NVAccess is there a way to have #NVDA input commands like Win+I or Alt+F4 when operated with a #BrailleDisplay? I cannot find an option to do this.

    @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind I can’t readily see an issue similar to that - would you be able to write one up please?

      @NVAccess @main @mastoblind Yeah I will try and get to that, the consistant things are that any screen that is flagged as secure cannot be acted on by the #brailledisplay, even if #nvda is running with elevated permissions, examples are the lock screen and the windows UAC dialogues, such as the one that pops when giving NVDA permission to run on the lock screen. Saving a config to use on secure screens did not make any difference.

        @NVAccess @main @mastoblind Ok found this issue being reported back over a decade. https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2315

        I found a handful of others that were closed for being duplicates of this original issue, or one of a couple other identical ones.

          @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind is this a new issue for you though? I got the impression this just started happening?

            @NVAccess @main @mastoblind Not sure, this is the first time I have had a working PC and time to get the display set up with it and NVDA, but this happened’ right away. Best I can tell is it’s the same issue. Also where do I go to clear the secure screen profile, cannot figure that out, do not need it if it’s not fixing this.

              @NVAccess @main @mastoblind Oh additionally if the PC is left idle for a while or restarts the braille display will just read “braille display” until focus is moved with the qwerty.

                @NVAccess @main @mastoblind Ok so the braille display not working on secure screens I’m thinking is a microsoft being stupid issue, I realize that this also happened when using a display over USB with narrator itself, bet they are blocking peripherals beyond m&k from interacting with those. The issue where the display is unable to do anything when the PC is first turned on, or has been disconnected for more than like 10min until something is pressed on the qwerty however seems to be #nvda, I checked all the bluetooth and power settings and they are correct.

                  @NVAccess @main @mastoblind This a applies to screen savers as well, the braille display cannot wake the PC from it.

                    @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind One of the features in NVDA 2025.1 is “Added a general setting to prevent the display turning off during say all or reading with braille.” which should at least fix the display dropping out in some cases while reading long pieces of text - it won’t help if you leave the PC entirely for long enough that it goes to sleep though
