Insert Key Layout wasn't actually meant to substitute for Browse Mode
keys--it's a way for GW to pull in JAWS customers who argue that they don't
want to learn a new layout. So I think Insert Key Layout will still exist
even if the nav keys are implemented in Window-Eyes.

Well, if the demand is there, and it is, knowing since there is 30
messages in this one topic alone, there may sure indeed be a rewrite
possibly before 8.0 is released I suppose. Of course, I'm just a
window-eyes user, and not a Window-Eyes dev, so... who knows.
In that case, if they use your style of browse mode, is the Insert
Layout app even necessary?

Again
you could get rid of control search mode but keep the funtionality of
moving
to elements with the numbers. This can already be accomplished with
headings, so just extend it to the rest of them. Links, buttons, forms,
combo boxes, edit boxes, paragraphs, graphics, landmarks, etc, etc.

Sorry I meant to have a new hotkey B for navigating to buttons. Thanks.

Control b? B is not even being used as a way to navigate by an
element.

Just a suggestion, can GW Micro incorporate a new hotkey control B for
moving to button so we do not have to press two hotkeys.. Thanks.

Yes, this was a mistake in my last post, but my frustrations still
hold.
You can move to the next and previous controls but for things like
buttons, you have to press two keys just to move to the next button.

He's not saying next control. He's referring to specific controls.

C and Shift-C are single key strokes for next and previous control.

This was one of my biggest problems with W-E and why I still have
JAWS installed on my system. I feel like the Control Search
Mode,although useful, is overkill in most cases. For instance, E
should move you to the next Edit Box, not fieldset since no one
really pays attention to fieldsets anyway. B is free right now and
should move you to the next button instead of having to press N + B.
Another shortcut that will be useful is the ability to move to the
next control without pressing two keystrokes
(N+C.)
I think Control Search Mode should still exist as a way to execute
more specific movement commands like third button or third control,
as I have found this quite useful, but for just single element
movement I find it to be unnecessary. Munawar A. Bijani

Agreed. We shouldn't have to use a script just to access some extra
browse mode commands. I'm sure we can't be the only ones to feel this
way...

When you turn on the insert key layout, if you're on a webpage
already, the keys don't work til you refresh. Can we please just
have the commands built into browse mode so I don't have to do two
key presses to get to a control or have to use an app? I don't see
why this isn't, if not included by default, a browse mode layout
option.
Thanks,
Patrick
