Hi Morne,
Here are a couple of answers to some of your questions:
You would use the bypass key in the event a program uses the same key as
Window-Eyes. An example of this would be in Windows Media Player. The
key for skipping forward in a file is control-shift-F. This is the same
key used for the Window-Eyes find command. Since Window-Eyes gets first
choice with keys, you would not be able to move forward in your media
file. Pressing the bypass key allows this to happen one time. In case
you plan to use the key in WMP, you would do well to undefine the
control-shift-F key in Window-Eyes while in WMP unless you route the
mouse pointer to the button and click with the mouse left click button.
The insert-backslash is used when the information on the screen
appears to be missing or adding in information that appears in your
window. Press the combination of the two keys to try to clean up the
text on the screen.
To move to the previous or next character, use the left arrow and right
arrow, respectively. The only other way to find out what is under your
cursor is to move the cursor and then move it back.
To get the curent mouse pointer position, use control-insert-numpad 5.
Finally, If you are reading a document, you would most likely want to
use the arrow keys. The main reason is that you can make changes to the
text, if needed, or be able to read more than just one screen of text.
The mouse keys only read the active window, which is the information
displayed on a screen. By using the arrow keys, you continue to read
further down a document, causing the document to scroll, making it move
subsequent lines into the view of the screen. I hope these suggestions
are helpful.

Hi list,
I have a couple of questions. I'm busy exploring WE fully. Can
someone please tell me how one use the following hotkeys: Bypass
Insert-b
Redraw insert-backslash
In my quick reference guide there is a heading called "General Hot
Keys" I see there is a hotkey for current character which is
Control-numpad-left arrow. But there are no hotkeys for next and
prior.
Then in the Mouse Pointer Hot Key section there are Mouse Prior and
mouse next hotkeys but no mouse current hotkeys. Why?
My last question: When do you decide to use the general Hot Keys or
the Mouse Pointer Hotkeys? Which one is the best to read a Word
Document?

Morne
