Columns Review is an add-on to read and copy items in a list column by column. It supports lists with a potentially infinite number of columns, and you can navigate them using keyboard or numpad digits. The column headers can be read but not copied, or vice versa.
Additionally, it provides list search, a way to interact with column headers, and can announce "0 elements" when a list is empty.
See below for more details about supported list.
Default keys associated with numbers are NVDA and control, but you can customize them from add-on settings. See settings also for numpad/keyboard mode and layout.
- NVDA+control+digits from 1 to 0 (keyboard mode) or from 1 to 9 (numpad mode): pressed once, read the chosen column, pressed twice, copy it;
- NVDA+control+numpadMinus (numpad mode): read or copy the 10th, 20th, etc column;
- NVDA+control+- (default, EN-US layout, keyboard mode): in a list with 10+ columns, let you to change interval and read columns from 11 to 20, from 21 to 30, and so on; see settings to change last char according to your layout;
- NVDA+control+numpadPlus (numpad mode): exactly as previous command;
- NVDA+control+f: open find dialog;
- NVDA+f3: find next occurrence of previously entered text;
- NVDA+shift+f3: find previous occurrence;
- NVDA+control+enter (numpadEnter in numpad mode): open column headers manager;
- Arrows (in empty list): repeat "0 elements" message.
List types supported by search and numeric gestures are:
- SysListView32;
- DirectUIHWND (present in 64-bit systems);
- WindowsForms10.SysListView32.* (applications that use .NET);
- Mozilla table (tipically, Thunderbird message list, thread-grouping supported).
All specific gestures are associated on and only on supported lists, when these are not empty.
Any listview potentially supports empty announcement (so, not DirectUIHWND nor Mozilla table).
