Hi everyone,
As a JAWS user getting accustomed to WE, I have a few comments which, for
me, would improve WE. I am looking at this also from the position of a new
user. I am trying to use WE on a laptop.
1. Some new users would like a braille listing of keystrokes, which GW Micro
provides, but, as far as I can see, no laptop keystrokes are included, I had
to find the appendix of the manual to find laptop keystrokes, but I think
this should be noted near the beginning of the WE manual, instead of the
user running around looking where to find it, and I would have loved a
braille reference card with the laptop layout.
2. I don't know if it's just me, but once I found the keystrokes, they seem
ridiculously more uncomfortable then the JAWS solution, which just uses the
CAPS key as a sort of modifier key, here you have to press 3 keys at once,
and the lay-out doesn't seem that great.
3. I am starting to browse, but, I don't know if I'm wrong here, and if I am
please correct me, but it doesn't seem like there is a way with WE to
navigate quickly to specific types of fields in forms. What I mean is, with
JAWS you can go to a combo box with c, radio button with r, or checkbox with
x, are there any such hotkeys for these different elements in WE?
So far, from the little I've seen, what I like about we compared to JAWS is
the hyperactive windows thing, and the feature which tells you the different
states of the mouse pointer.
Thanks
Ari
