I need some help with #nvda & #wikipedia.
I'm assisting a blind student in learning how to navigate the web using a laptop.
NVDA reads out the title first, then properties about the document, then the summary box on the side.
I can't find any way to skip that whole box and move straight to the main content. There is no main content landmark, nor is there a heading, not is it in the Contents section.
Take en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurgood… as an example. How can I navigate to the first sentence of the main article?
Thanks for any help.

I'm a bit confused. When I load the article you provided, the first thing I hear with NVDA is:

"This is a good article. Click here for more information.
Page semi-protected"

Using the arrow keys, I can browse down to the rest of the content of the page.

Pressing 'h' will take you to the first heading present on that page, which is "Thurgood Marshall" at heading level 1. Subsequent presses of 'h' will take you to other sections and subsections including the table of contents.

@ppatel after the first heading is a table. After the table is some text, but no heading. I couldn’t work out how to skip the table, but another user @jcsteh pointed out that the comma key will skip the current container, which is exactly what I needed.
It’s be better if either a landmark or header took you to the beginning paragraph after the table, but this’ll do.
