      @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind One of the features in NVDA 2025.1 is “Added a general setting to prevent the display turning off during say all or reading with braille.” which should at least fix the display dropping out in some cases while reading long pieces of text - it won’t help if you leave the PC entirely for long enough that it goes to sleep though

        @NVAccess @main @mastoblind Yeah, I found that placing the focus over something like the system clock prevents it from requiring pulling out the qwerty keyboard to get the display working after a few hours, the object updating every minute seems to be enough to get the display out of just showing “braille display” when it reconnects and I enter terminal mode. It just seems to need something to trigger the focus enough to need it to update the display.
