[NFBCS] Slack questions

[Doug Lee]

The Right and Left arrows move to and back from the replies of a message, and Up and Down move among messages or replies depending on where you are at the time.

Slack itself does not provide a way to read by character, word, etc. unless you use the JAWS virtual view or NVDA browse mode, which I generally don't recommend. In JAWS, one way to handle this is to use speech history, which
is opened by Insert+Space H, and then reading up from the bottom of the displayed buffer to review the latest spoken message in detail. The NVDA object navigation and review commands should allow this sort of review there.

A team that I'm on is using Slack, and I've run into a couple of
problems with it that weren't addressed by reading the keyboard
shortcuts.

First, how do you read replies? When someone replies to a message that
I've sent, Slack says it "has one reply," but it does not read the
reply to me. Pressing Enter does nothing.

Second, how do you navigate by character, word, sentence, paragraph,
etc. within a message. The arrow keys do other things. When I get a
long message I have to listen to the entire thing over and over again,
and I still can't tell how anything is spelled.

Thanks.
