Object Navigation
What are Objects?
Objects are individual Graphical elements of information. Intrinsically, 
they are organised by the operating system into a hierarchical structure 
that works in a similar way to tree views (as the structure in Windows 
Explorer).
Examples of these include:
•Buttons
•Menu items and desktop icons
•Portions of text (in word editors, dialogue boxes or web sites etc)
•Form/edit fields, or tables
•Title bars, menu bars and the task bar
•The system tray; and
•The desktop
Some major objects, like menu bars, can be made up of lots of different 
minor objects. In technical terms, the menu bar object would be referred 
to as the parent object and the sub menus within it would be referred to 
as its children (child objects). Objects that are on the same level 
within the hierarchy are referred to as the next or the previous object.
What is Object Navigation in NVDA?
Object navigation is the main method of navigation used in NVDA. It 
allows users to navigate between objects without moving the current 
focus until the user decides. Users are able to move through the object 
hierarchy between parent and child objects, and also between next and 
previous objects; that's to say: users are able to navigate among the 
ofjects that are at the same level, or the sub-objects included.
If you are unfamiliar with the idea of object navigation - and you are 
use to the more traditional flat method of navigation - you may find the 
below example helpful to better understanding of ObjectNavigation.
A Practical Example
This example uses the model of a mobile hardware phone to describe the 
process of object navigation and how it works.
Think of the different hardware components of a mobile phone. These include:
•Shell
•Keypad
•Number buttons
•Function buttons
•Camera
•Screen
(For this example, only these listed components will be used)
Think of each of these components as objects. They can be structured 
into a hierarchy where several individual objects comprise another 
object. For example, the shell would be comprised of all of the listed 
objects, and as it is the outer-most object, it is refered to as the 
root object. Any objects under this object would be considered its child 
objects. In this example, the root object will have three children and 
they are: the screen, the camera and the keypad. The first two objects 
(the screen and the camera) do not have anymore children, but the keypad 
has two and they are the function buttons and the number buttons. This 
hierarchy is represented in a numbered list below:
•1. The Shell (root object)
◦1.1. The Screen
◦1.2. The Camera
◦1.3. The Keypad
■1.3.1. The Function Buttons
■1.3.2. The Number Buttons
The hierarchy that is used to structure objects inside operating systems 
can be perceived in exactly the same way.
Useful Object Navigation Features in NVDA
Below are outlines of several useful features of NVDA's object 
navigation. For a list of key commands, please see the next section.
•When you use NVDA's object navigation, it does not take the focus away 
from your current activity. It can be a useful tool for looking up 
information in an open document while working with another application, 
without having to switch between them.
•You are able to activate the object with NVDA+numpad enter, even if 
your focus is somewhere else.
NVDA Object Navigation Key Commands
•NVDA+numpad 5: report the current object
•NVDA+numpad 8: move to the parent object
•NVDA+numpad 2: move to the first child object
•NVDA+numpad 4: move to the previous object
•NVDA+numpad 6: move to the next object
•NVDA+numpad enter: activate the current object
•NVDA+numpad minus: move to the object with focus
What are the challenges to Object Navigation?
Object navigation can only report the names and states of individual 
objects if they have been appropriately assigned. The names of some menu 
items cannot be accessed through object navigation because the 
programmers who wrote them did not assign that object with the 
appropriate name. In order for NVDA to access objects that have not been 
appropriately assigned, it will need to use display hooks (this feature 
is not currently available in NVDA).
Why Does NVDA use Object Navigation?
At this point in time, it is the most effective alternative to access 
information from the operating system without the use of display hooks 
for NVDA. It is worth mentioning thatObjectNavigation is considered to 
be the preferred method of navigation for some Linux screen readers and 
was also used in older discontinued Virgo versions.
