clickable links

[Don H]

Running the latest released version of NVDA on a Win 11 system. Is there
a shortcut for turning on and off the announcement of clickable links? 
I know you can turn them on or off in settings but would like them to be
announced in certain situations.

Thanks

All links should be clickable. If a link isn't, it is because of
improper accessibility implementation. There are items that are
clickable and announced as such that are not links. I know of no
command to turn on and off this announcement as a shortcut command.

The easiest and fastest way I know is to open document formatting, NVDA
control d, and issue the command alt c three times. You will be in the
clickable check box field. If you want the items announced check the
item with the space bar, then press enter to activate the OIK button
which closes the dialog and uses the setting.

Once you want to return to the previous setting, assuming that one is
the one you usually use and the one the program uses when you run it, or
it first runs automatically, issue the command NVDA control r. You will
hear configuration applied. The usual settings you use are now all in
force and clickable is no longer checked.
