Don: Whilst I am not a very proficient user of mouse keys, they are certainly useful - powerful and needed.
I cannot vouch for your below comment regarding what an employee may have said, but I have seen the comment that Microsoft broke things in Ie 10 which have damaged mouse keys, but isn't one of GW's missions in life to work with Microsoft to fix what got broken? Take it from me - complaints are not well dealt with under this new AI Squared regime, but none-the-less, we should continue to express requests for feature improvements. The longer it takes for Window-Eyes nine to be released, the better it will be. But: how long before it is too long? How much less than the perfect software will we accept? I suspect that the mouse key issue will be linked in some way to the rewrite of browse mode and the far greater levels of complexity with which we are all grappling.

I really hope that the next version of WE brings back using the mouse keys with Internet Explorer. When this function went away one of the main people at GW told me that he didn't think it was a necessary or useful thing to be able to use the mouse keys with Internet Explorer. I only hope enough users have complained enough to change his mind.
