Some of us use multiple operating systems, not just multiple screen readers, regularly. There are some keyboard conventions which are similar across graphical applications in Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux, for example the keys used for editing and text selection. Text-mode Linux and UNIX are unique, and deserve to win the award for efficient keyboard operations. I would rank Microsoft as second best (and the best of the graphical environments that I've used) with respect to keyboard shortcuts. For anyone who is going to be independent, knowing how to look up the key assignments is important. Microsoft provide lists of keyboard shortcuts for Windows and the various Office applications. In my experience, the letters chosen as shortcuts for controls in the ribbon are often not mnemonic, unless I've failed to understand the system, that is. I'm a strong proponent of learning the fundamentals well, and of empowering people to read, learn and discover on their own. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to [email protected] Archives located at: http://www.groups.io/g/jfw/threads Alternative archives located at: http://n2.nabble.com/JAWS-for-Windows-f2145279.html If you have any concerns about the list, posts received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
