Jacob, I whole-heartedly agree! <smile>
There just need to be a few tweaks and what we have will be
phenomenal.
For those who may not know, there are a whole host of VO commands in
Leopard for navigating the web. Including jumping to plain text etc.
These already exist, and as I said, apart from a few tweaks / bug
fixes, what we have is fabu!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

You can press tab to highlight each link in Safari as well, this is
a Safari option. Open preferences, go to advanced, and check the box
that says "press tab to highlight each element." I prefer this, as
it's not something the screen reader is taking away from the
browser's control as jaws does. Further, I for one hope that
Voiceover doesn't borrow too much from the Windows screen readers'
methods of web navigation. A few more keys for certain actions would
be nice, but apart from that I hope they keep the principal of web
navigation they have now. It's nice not to have to deal with things
like forms mode and having the typing keys on my keyboard taken over
when I want to use them. Here's hoping the virtual buffer approach
never gets within arm's reach of Voiceover, I was never a big fan of
the virtual buffers approach anyway even when they first started
with window-eyes.

Hello,
using JAWS on a Windows PC may deliever some ideas of improvement
to VO! JAWS has some keystrokes to make the web-navigation easier.
For ecample you can jump with the TAB-key form Link to Link. The
1-, 2-,and 3-key is used to jump through the headlines in relation
to its level.
... but a lot of web-sites use the accessibility-friendly layout
commands that JAWS needs to navigate in the site.
