David,
Using a separate letter for all controls would eat too many keys even
with today's controls let alone new controls in the future. Using the N
key and then keying the letter gives the most control. Yes, it does
require one extra keypress but we feel the flexibility far out weighs
the extra keystroke. Also, in can you didn't know, once you used N to
search for something you can repeat it with N ENTER. Say you searched
for the next radio button with:
n r
to find the next radio button you can continue pressing n r as you know
but you can also press n ENTER. Enter just means look for the next
occurrence of the last control searched for.
If you had 14 radio buttons in a row you could also do:
n r
to find the first one and then just use the normal C for next control to
move on down. Now this will eventually take you to something that isn't
a radio button but it is a single keypress.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Doug

You misunderstood, i'm afraid.
What I meant, was, if you want to read radiobutton 1, 2, 3, ... 14,
15. That is, you want to browse through ALL fifteen buttons. That is
when, you will have to do n1r, n2r, n3r, n4r, etc. Good luck! But I
surely would have thought it easier to do b, to jump to the next
button, and repeated that fifteen times.
the N key, is great when you don't want to read the first 14 buttons,
but only intend to jump directly to #15; n15R; agreed. But that is not
my poit. I am talking of when you want to know the information of each
of the buttons/checkboxes.
do you understand the difference?
Regards,

Methinks you don't know how to use the feature.
Fifteenth radio button? n, 15, r

Know about them. the N key, is surely a great thing. But, what if a
site holds 15 radiobuttons, and you want to scroll through them? Do
you find it funny to press ncr, 15 times; or would you rather press
b 15 times? In fact, why do we have l, c, x, d, etc? We just could
have had the N key, or...?
Don't know, if you get my point.

David, in Browse Mode, press n followed by the letter corresponding
to the specific control you want to jump to, I.E. x for checkbox, o
for combo box, etc. ADditionally, press n, u, x to get to an
unchecked checkbox for n, c, r to get to a checked radio button
(note how u and c in between the two other commands indicates
checked or unchecked). Finally, use n, 4, o to jump to the 4th
combo box or n, 2, e to jump to the second edit box. These features
are all documented in the ReadMe that you were able to read during
the Window Eyes 7 installation. *smile*

in browse mode, there is already quite a few keys, like l=link,
c=control, f=form, etc. But why is there no key to jump to the
next/privious checkbox, combobox, button?
GW staff, here is a lack in the browse mode. Could we have keys
like o=combox, b=button, etc, implemented in WE before the final 7
release?
