What is the most accessible way of taking a screenshot of a page in google chrome? I assume a keyboard shortcut? I need to send that screenshot via email so I have to know where what folder it is saved to.
@jpellis2008 NVDA screenshots wizard addon. It's got comprehensive documentation, and will let you take a screenshot of the windows accessibly.
@jackf723 @jpellis2008 what does it offer that pressing printscreen or altprtscrn doesn't?
@cachondo @jpellis2008 Accessible window framing. You use printscreen to open the wizard, and then you have a shortcut layer that allows you to taake a direct windows capture, or frame a set of screen coordinates. Think of it as accessible screen-snipping.
@jackf723 In theory, this sounds great. In practice, I've just spent 25 minutes trying to capture a screenshot of a dialog on a webpage without the backdrop, and getting nowhere.
The coordinates that it claims for objects often don't match what NVDA's developer info shows. Which is weird, because that's presumably where the add-on is getting them from.
So I tried copying those coordinates to the clipboard, intending to reference them in the wizard and set them manually. Except, it prevents me from reading my clipboard or switching to Notepad when the wizard is open—both NVDA+C and Alt+Tab just result in a beep.
What I'm going to try next is sending them to myself on WhatsApp, and setting the wizard while reading them on my phone. Totally reasonable user experience.
@jscholes @jackf723 @jpellis2008 I'd been using the old openai NVDA addon which lets you capture an object as the basis for some of my screenshots. This other sounds ... confusing.
@cachondo @jscholes @jpellis2008 Yeah, it's ok if you want to capture a window, but that's as far as it's able to get with consistently good results for me.
@jackf723 @jscholes @jpellis2008 but you can do that with alt+printscreen anyway? surely someone thought all this coordinate business was more useful than that.
@jpellis2008 @jackf723 @jscholes one of those that varies across models. My home dell has it on the f10 key with fn, my work Linovo has one near the right of the spacebar...
@cachondo @jpellis2008 @jackf723 @jscholes Not sure if there's similar for chrome, but edge has a screenshot tool built-in as well that can help you capture just a page. From memory it cuts out the toolbars e.g. address bar / open tabs, and just captures the page's content. CTRL Shift s.
