Folks (vibe)-coding #NVDA addons, all the power to you but PLEASE check for conflicts in your gestures before putting your stuff out there. I get that we can't account for addons clashing with other addons, but I've seen addons that outright nix basic NVDA shortcuts like routing the mouse (nvda+shift+m) or finishing a review cursor copy (nvda+f10) or heck even breaking object navigation commands (nvda+shift+arrows). However cool your addon is, it isn't cool enough for it to just do that :)

@zersiax Sorry for my childish reaction, but I laughed out loud when I first knew you basically cannot guarantee that a newly installed addon won't break everything you are used to. In JAWS this problem simply doesn't exist because keyboard manager checks conflicts on key assignment. I wonder why NVDA couldn't check gesture conflicts on addon installation.
