Yep it sure does. I have seen the situation you describe. It is a pain. I said I wasn't going to do this but I just can't resist sorry. What about a keyboard layout that will allow you to step threw brows mode with out interfaring with the underlaying program. For example if you hold down the caps lock key and press a brows mode command the buffer is moved threw. Of course you could still have the option to turn it on and off but you could also choose to never have the keys interfair with the program and use the window-eyes prefix you define. Of course this means we need more prefixes. The idea that we need another insert key I just don't agree with. Capslock should act as it's own modifier key. If a command is defined to the windows key then the window-eyes command should take over and the pass threw command should be used to pass it threw. If this was done all commands for the mouse could be put on the windows keys for the numpad. Commands for reading relative to the insertion pointer or the window could be on insert numpad commands. And of course commands for brows mode could be on the capslock and what ever keys. No more passing lots of commands threw or turning on and off modes or cursors or what ever. That being said I tried the insert key layout mode and am now turning it back off. Oh one more thing. A good idea for window-eyes would be a tutor app with the new insert key layout I can get my girl friend to switch to window-eyes. If it only had a tutor app so when you land on a button you are reminded what to do with it. I personaly don't need this but I know a lot of people who do.

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. -- Raul A. Gallegos What kind of tweet would a tweet retweet if a tweet could retweet tweets?
