Feature request: add QuickNav command for Same style navigation in browse mode

[mltony]

I propose to add Same style navigation in browse mode. I I will implement this feature request myself if green light is given by NVDA team.
*jump to next/previous text written in the same style as current text.

• Style is defined as font name and other attributes, such as font size, bold, italic, etc.
• Utility of this function can also be illustrated on issues list on github - as all the issue titles are written in the same style.
• I propose to assign by default right bracket ] and Shift+] gestures to this command.
• This feature has already been implemented in BrowserNav add-on and can be triggered by first adjusting BrowserNav rotor by pressing NVDA+O to the value "BrowserNav navigates by font size and same style" and then pressing NVDA+Control+Up/Down keystrokes.
  • In BrowserNav however, same style navigation only finds other paragraphs written in the same style; therefore it would miss same style within the same paragraph. This feature request proposes to find any text within or without current paragraph.

Could you please explain more as to why it's by paragraph?
I can understand the utility of groups by style, but consider it could be misleading for skipping over style changes within paragraphs.

The reason why I was thinking about paragraphs is that in BrowserNav add-on that's the main theme - finding paragraphs with different criteria. But I see your point that it's going to be confusing if we miss same style within paragraph. Let me change description so that we find next/previous character instead of paragraph with the same formatting.
