God Mode

Same for me, except god mode is in the root dir of C as was suggested. I use NVDA only. On my old computer, there was also no single-letter key for list item, but I knew to arrow once to the right from the first item on that desktop.

The reason NVDA just says "List Item" is because visually, the folder doesn't have a name, only an icon. I don't remember it being like that before. Maybe it's a Windows 10 thing or maybe it depends where you put it.

On my Windows 7 PC, the folder is labelled GodMode without the very long string of text. I assume this is because the folder name is so long that Windows just truncates the name. Anyway, First letter nav works for me, and I see no reason why it shouldn't. Either your NVDA or your Windows installation is shot.

Nothing is shot, either on my old computer or on this one. Post 22 has it correct.

I had a brainstorm and cut god mode from my C drive's root directory and pasted it on the desktop where I find it more convenient, and that worked.

In another brave move I added a file name to that folder and now I can get there with single-letter navigation. Go me! Oh my God, It didn't work! Now it just opens an empty folder, ugh.

I... seriously don't understand why you can't find the folder with first letter navigation.

Because it doesn't have a letter to navigate by. It has an icon or whatever. NVDA just says list item. Other people have reported this besides me.

Not for me. On 2020.4, when I press the letter G, it takes me straight to GodMode.

I've tried changing its folder name but then its contents disappear, so I'm leaving as it is. See my post 26.

try to create a folder with name god, then rename it to godmode something something. that big text.

It doesn't work.

I'm having exactly the same thing as you going on, Charles. Everything you reported.

Amazing how some folks have an actual folder name and others, like Karl and I, don't.

It must be something with Windows 10. You will just have to navigate to it using the arrow keys. I know it's a bit slower but it works.

Mine is the fifth item on the desktop so I press c to get me near there. It's right under my user folder, which is of course named Charles.
