    Windows Narrator does not support automatic switching in/out of scan mode for ARIA composite widget roles

    Unlike other Windows screen readers (NVDA & JAWS), Narrator does not appear to mode switch between its scan/browse mode and its "scan mode off"/pass-through/forms mode.

    Many of the ARIA Authoring Practices composite widgets (tree, grid, tablist, listbox, or the global "application" role, etc.) only properly report and are properly navigated when the screen reader is in a pass-through mode.

    NVDA and JAWS will automatically "pop" you into forms mode/cursor off mode when focus is programmatically set to an element within a composite widget role. The mode switch enables proper interaction/navigation behavior of those types of widgets.

    Narrator, by contrast, is only toggled out of its "scan mode" manually (by pressing Narrator + spacebar). This severely limits the ability of web developers/authors in making well-supported complex ARIA widgets.

    Is there a plan to address this deficiency of Narrator?

    Windows Narrator does not support automatic switching in/out of scan mode for ARIA composite widget roles

    Good day KenPetri! I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. I understand that Windows Narrator does not support automatic switching in/out of scan mode for ARIA composite widget roles. For this, I would suggest to send a feedback via the Feedback Hub app on your PC and hopefully this will be available in the next/future update for Windows.

    Regards,

    Paul R.
