NVDA compatibility: 2026.1 and later
Links Management is an opt-in NVDA add-on that improves Browse Mode navigation when Screen Layout is turned off.
When enabled, each link behaves as a separate line for Up/Down arrow navigation.
Trailing punctuation is intelligently attached to the link line to prevent blank or punctuation-only lines.
Inspired by JAWS, this add-on focuses on clarity, predictability, and navigation control.
A dedicated settings panel is available at:
NVDA menu → Preferences → Settings → Links management
When enabled (and Screen Layout is off):
- Each link is treated as a separate navigation "line" in Browse Mode.
- Trailing punctuation is attached to the link line.
- Blank or punctuation-only lines are avoided.
- This add-on only affects Browse Mode behavior.
- It is opt-in and must be enabled in Settings.
- Designed for users who prefer structured link-by-link navigation.
