Hi Adrien,
I am so glad you are finding ways to get around situations in Chrome. I hope
the tutorial and what all people have said has helped you get more
comfortable with Chrome. Guess what? Today, I made Chrome my default browser
for the first time. I actually like it better than even Firefox. The only
thing I still need Firefox for is to run the add on Web Vism to solve
capchas. I have not found an extension yet that compares to Web Vism in
Firefox. The rest of the time, Chrome is downloading my sites almost twice
as fast and never crashes. Have a great one all.

Subject: chrome, lister suggestions and what I found
When I was testing Chrome earlier this week, I posted problems I encountered
and several people posted suggestions. Here's what people said and what I've
found.
For my download query, Ann wrote. The context menu on the downloads page has
an item that says something about open link in incognito window. The item
just below that is 'save link as', which looks like 'save target as' to me.
Me. David Moore found the same thing in his podcast. Chrome says "Save link
as" instead of the Moore familiar "Save target as."
Brad wrote: For the Save Link As option, I route JAWS to PC (even though the
JAWS cursor reads nothing), and then right-clicked, and I could save the
item linked to.
Me. While on the FS website this morning, I couldn't get the "Save link as"
option to appear in the right mouse menu. I tried Brad's idea. Still nothing
happened. But after I switched from the JAWS to the PC cursor, I tried the
right mouse menu again, and there it was. So, the next time I reach a
download link, I'll route JAWS to PC, press the PC cursor key, then press
right mouse and arrow down to "save link as."
For my combo box problem, Andre wrote: I just hit the spacebar to open the
combo list. Hit enter on what I want or escape to exit. That's what I have
seen on my machine.
Me. there's no single solution to the combo boxes I've encountered while
using Chrome. Usually, I need to press enter and then alt-down arrow to get
inside a combo box. The spacebar has never worked for me here. However, once
I've placed focus on my choice, escape does sometimes work. I don't recall
ever using escape before to get out of a combo box.
My thanks to all three of you.
