Before editing add-on makes sure to remove control characters by placing cursor in the beginning and end and simulating Delete and Backspace key presses.Please note, however, that this way we don't preserve the number of spaces between words, we only guarantee to preserve the presence of spaces.

This is needed to parse multiline commands correctly: UIA implementation trims whitespaces in the end of each line, so in order to deduce whether there is a space between two lines, we need to shift them by one character. When 'Use UI Automation to access the Windows Console when available' option is enabled in NVDA settings, it sends one more control character in the beginning of the string.Command is what appears between two control characters.Then it waits for control characters to appear on the screen, which might take some time on slow SSH connections.Then it presses home key and sends another control character.It presses End key and then sends a control character, that is a rare Unicodecharacter not likely to be used anywhere.Here is how add-on extracts current command. It might also work in alternative Unix shells, however it hasn't been tested. This feature has been tested in Windows command prompt cmd.exe as well as in bash shell over ssh connections, as well as in WSL and cygwin. Alternatively you can press Alt+F4 to close edit prompt window without updating command line. After editing you can either press Escape to update current command line, or Enter to update and immediately execute command. Press NVDA+E to identify current prompt in console window and edit it in an accessible 'Edit prompt' window. Please read this section carefully and make sure you understand how it works before reporting issues. This option makes Control+V shortcut to work inside ssh sessions. Beep on console updatesīeep a low pitch impulse every time console text is updated. For example, if NVDA is busy speaking a line that appeared on the screen 1 minute ago, and now a new line appears, this option will cancel speaking the old line and start speaking the new line right away, thus providing a more real-time feedback on what's happening in console window. This option makes NVDA to speak new lines immediately as they appear in console output, instead of queueing new speech utterances. Some of the features were previously part of Tony's enhancements add-on.

SSH users might find this add-on especially handy. Some of the features may work in alternative terminals, such as Cygwin, PuTTY and Windows Terminal, however, the add-on has only been carefully tested with the default Windows Console. It also works well in Windows PowerShell. Console Toolkit is NVDA add-on, that provides accessibility improvements for Windows console, also known as Command prompt.
