Hello Ari. I'll address your third point of using quick keys to navigate
to specific form elements using Browse mode.
If you are using Window-Eyes 7.0 or 7.01, you can use the letter n for
enhanced control search mode. So if you want to quickly get to a radio
button, press n r. If you want to get to only the buttons, you can use n
b. For check boxes, use n x. The really cool thing about using the n
key, is you can even get more creative. If you want to, for example,
find only the unchecked check boxes, use n u x. Only the checked
checkboxes, use n c x. Combo boxes are accessed by n o. Section 19.16 is
your friend in this case.
Many thanks.

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
