hi together, I think, there would be several problems to remove the browse mode or impliment a browse mode autoo off function!!!!
First, you would have to impliment another special key into all keyboards on the world. Why? Because you will have to use a second key to perform your browse commands ... and wich key would you like to use? ctrl? No, because then you coulld not use shortcuts of the programms anymore. win? no, because you could not use Windows shortcuts anymore... So wich other ones? yeah, you could press two special keys to use the browse mode, but then you would need more than one finger and you would loose all this commands for your personal shortcuts e.g. your scripts and so on. So this may not work... 2nd browse mode auto off This also will not work, how should the browser know, when you would like to enter something into a edit box? Or when you just want to go to the next one without entering some text into it...? And even when starting to type text would just turn off browse mode automatically, how should WE know, when you would like to stop entering the text? This would much more complicated, because you always would have to reactivate the browse mode at every input field you reach. And if you e.g. only need to enter every third one, you would have to reactivate the browse mode two times before reaching the next field you want to write into. I would not like to use such a strange system. I think everyone should be able to remember to press just an enter to write into a field and then reactivate the browse mode. This is and will ever be the easyest way of browsing webpages. Not at least because you only need single keystrokes to read, jump and enter something. Every other solution would be much more complicated and take a lot more keypresses! all the best, Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Grimsby JR." <[email protected]> To: "'chris hallsworth'" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2010 7:23 PM Subject: RE: Window-Eyes Suggestion Sorry once again I have to disagree with this approach. The better thing in the long run is to get rid of brows mode. And put in keys that perform the task without having to turn one mode on and off. We have mouse keys so why not browsing document keys as well. So when you get to the form etc you just interact with the browser as you would with a normal program nothing to turn on and off and then when you want to scan the document use the window-eyes commands. The problem is going to be if we do it with auto forms mode or whatever you want to call it is people are going to be confused when forms mode is on and when they are interacting with brows mode. If you have a set of keys for browsing and use the normal programs command for everything else no confusing will happen. It is like with the mouse keys there is no confusing on if your moving the programs cursor or highlight or moving the mouse via window-eyes.
