What's Changed

Description

Introducing NVDA support for Guidepup - you can now use the same core suite of screen reader APIs for NVDA on Windows as VoiceOver. There are a few non-standard APIs which are specific to screen readers, this is made clear in the docs and JSDocs for Intellisense.

The readNextLine and readPreviousLine keyboard commands have been corrected according to the Apple VoiceOver Appendix A. Commands and Gestures.

BREAKING CHANGES:

The voiceOver object has been flattened to remove the caption, cursor, commander, keyboard, and mouse objects. All methods and getters that were available under these namespaces are now available on voiceOver instead, generally under the same name.

Furthermore, some common keyboard commands (previously available under voiceOver.keyboard.commands, and now under voiceOver.keyboardCommands) have changed name to align with the NVDA command names:

• openVoiceOverUtility -> openUtilityMenu
• openVoiceOverHelpMenu -> openHelpMenu
• openVoiceOverQuickStart -> openQuickStart
• openVoiceOverOnlineHelp -> openOnlineHelp
• toggleVoiceOverCursorAndPanels -> toggleCursorAndPanels
• readEverythingInCursor -> readCurrentSelection
• readEverythingInWindow -> readActiveWindow

See the docs for full details on the available API.
