Keyboard Shortcuts¶
LIMA AI provides five default gestures using the NVDA+Alt layer, so they never conflict with an NVDA built-in command. All of them are fully customisable in NVDA's Input Gestures dialog.
Default Shortcuts¶
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
NVDA+Alt+D |
Describe the screen: captures the active monitor and speaks a brief description |
NVDA+Alt+E |
Describe the focused element: says how the control you are on looks and what it does |
NVDA+Alt+W |
Toggle dynamic web narration on or off |
NVDA+Alt+C |
Click by description: type what you want to click, and LIMA AI finds the control and clicks it |
NVDA+Alt+U |
Check credit usage: says how much of this month's AI credit you have used and when it resets |
Health check command
The add-on also provides an Announces that the LIMA AI add-on is running command with no default gesture. If you want one, for example to check that LIMA AI is active, assign any free combination under the LIMA AI category in the Input Gestures dialog.
Customising Shortcuts¶
All of the add-on's commands appear under the LIMA AI category in NVDA's Input Gestures dialog.
- Open NVDA menu → Preferences → Input Gestures.
- Expand the LIMA AI category.
- Focus the command you want to change.
- Choose Add, press your desired key combination, then press
Enterto assign it. - To remove an existing gesture, focus it in the list and choose Remove.
Warning
Avoid combinations already used by your operating system or other screen readers. NVDA itself uses Insert (or Caps Lock) as its modifier key, so the NVDA+Alt layer is a safe choice that is unlikely to clash.
