[Rwp] creating custom action chains

[Gavin Grundlingh]

Hi Patrick,

I've just tried creating a custom action with NVDA. It seems that the 
actions in the list you're supposed to drag from aren't always visible 
on screen, even though they have focus. So trying to route the mouse to 
an action and double-click or right-click doesn't work. The only way 
I've found to do this is to select the action you want and, using the 
desktop keyboard layout, pressing NVDA+NumPadEnter. This performs the 
default MSAA action on an object which, I believe, is double-click for 
list items. Anyway, this adds the selected action to the second list 
view. To remove an action from this list, select it, then Tab over to 
and press the Remove Selected button.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Gavin
