Yes, I like what they have done. Other screen readers take you out of
their browse mode the moment the cursor lands in an edit box. This is
sure frustrating and in most cases I disable the ability to
automatically interact with forms as the new Window-Eyes calls it. But
not with the actual new Window-Eyes grin!

Hi Dave and others wondering about the arrow keys and auto-Browse Mode
on/off, if you are out of Browse mode and you are tabbing and you tab to
another button, check box, radio button, or edit box, you will remain
out of Browse Mode. If however you tab to a link, then you are put back
in Browse Mode and can use the arrow keys. During your browsing, using
the arrow keys will always keep you in Browse Mode. Also, if you want to
get back into Browse Mode, you can just hit the escape key as well.
Think of this situation, some have asked why not the arrow keys can be
used to toggle BM on and off, this is because what if you are arrowing
down and you come to a multi-line edit box, what will the arrow keys do
now, will they up and down arrow still, but keep you in the box, or what
happens after you get to the bottom of the multi-line edit box? This
sounds like a tech support nightmare if you ask me, and believe me, I
have experience in tech support <smile>. So, by GW doing it this way,
arrows will be consistent in keeping you in Browse Mode (BM) and tabbing
will take you out when it needs to such as check box, radio button,
button, or edit boxes are encountered.
I hope this make sense.

Hi,
It appears that the browse mode control when using tab works perfectly
fine. However, I was wondering if it was possible to change the behavior
if you use the arrow keys or the control hotkey, which is the C. When I
tab out of the form that I'm entering data into, browse mode is not
turned back on. Is this intentional? If so, why? --
