Windows 10: Are the lock the Narrator key and scan mode the same feature?

I have this question regarding the differences between the Narrator's scan mode and lock Narrator key if they are the same thing or if they act in the same way.Also how can I be sure if scan mode is turned on in Windows 11? is there a section on the Narrator settings regarding scan mode or the only way is pressing Narrator key and space bar?Thanks!

Narrator cause mention pop out feature doesn't work correctly

Hi, currently I have encounter an issue that with Narrator turn on, the website @ mention feature is unable to work correctly.
This issue also able to reproduce in microsoft team web version (Checking your credentials...), google sheet and etc.

Step to reproduce:
1. Open narrator
2. Open microsoft team in web version
3. In any group chat, type '@'.

4. A suggestion list will popup.

5. Unable to continue key in any text to filter the suggestion list. Narrator will voice 'unavailable' upon key press.

p/s: It seems like Narrator will auto focus on the popup suggestion list option which have been implemented with aria-selected='true' and cause the input key no longer working.

Kindly let me know if there is any suggestion or finding on the issue above. Thanks.

Narrator/ ease of access

Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.

You can use the shortcut (Narrator + Shift + Down arrow) to read a selection. You can see more information at this link.

Note: Both the Caps lock and Insert keys serve as your Narrator key by default. You can use either of these keys in any command that uses the Narrator key. The Narrator key is referred to as simply “Narrator” in commands. You can change your Narrator key in Narrator settings.
