Yes. Latest NVDA work fine, better than any other screen reader, with XP
to 10.

There we are in an expert topic. No one I know in the "basic" user want
a text environment. Even if I can understand, text mode is not
mainstream. So no, NVDA doesn't handle fine text tools, but it would
have interest for 1% of their users. It's a debate as complicated as
braille vs speech: each one is right, bkt for text mode topic, it's not
wanted by majority of people, despite benefits I admit and use myself.

And Orca and NVDA have similar bindings in Firefox, yes. And sincerely,
NVDA has a better behavior in many circumstances (just an example:
ctrl-left go back, NVDA goes to the link I've just clicked on, Orca at
the beginning of page, it's less convinient). All I hope is Orca,
someday, will be as performant as NVDA on Firefox. It is not today. Due
to Mozilla mess, let's hope we'll fix bugs.
