RibbonExplorer

A NVDA add-on to enhance experience with Ribbon menu. Only in Office products, for the moment.

I hate - strongly, deeply hate - Ribbon menu. So, I sincerely hope you can find this add-on useful.

Important things to consider:

1. this add-on is in development;
2. confirmed (by users) to work on Microsoft Office 2019, 365 and 2021;
3. compatibility for old NVDA/Office versions is not guaranteed.

Usage

Simply install, open an Office application, press Alt to access Ribbon, and familiarize with new menu layout.

You can use arrows, tab, enter, esc, quite like in a normal menu. Alt+down/upArrow are supported too, for expanding some controls.

If there are problems (please report), or you want temporarily interact without add-on assistance, press NVDA+space.

Enjoy! 🙂
