Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a user who works all the time with cared moves review cursor off and focus moves navigator set to off also, I am extremely frustrated when i want to look at the status bar of my current application only to realize a while later, that the position of my navigator object was changed without good reason.

Describe the solution you'd like

For me the best solution would be to:

  1. make reportstatusline script only report, spell and copy the information's and keep it assigned into NVDA+end
  2. create separate Movetostatusline script which will move navigator object to the status bar. This script wouldn't be assigned by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I;ve thought about assigning a shortcut to the movetostatusbar script but it seems to me, that most users don't even realize that the navigator object is moved due to the fact, that the options follow focus and cared are on by default.

Additional context

The proposed approach has several advantages:

  1. It is familiar to users migrating from another screen readers.
  2. The sighted users do not have to move mouse from they working position to check status bar content.
