ControlNav

Tired of tabbing endlessly? Just search for the control you need.

ControlNav next to a sample app, listing each control by name and type

ControlNav shows all controls in the current app as a searchable list. Type to filter by name, then jump directly to any button, field, or menu — no more tabbing through the whole interface.

ControlNav is a Windows tool for screen reader users (JAWS, NVDA, Windows Narrator). It lists every control in the foreground app, searchable by name — instead of tabbing through the whole window, type a few letters and jump straight to the control.

Features
