Hi Esther and others,
I found the short cuts where you indicated but I would not have known
to substitute enter for click. One more interesting detail. I believe I did
try command, Option, Enter on the link and nothing happened several times. I
went back to the NLS BARD site and practiced a bit. I found that if I am going
down the list and land on the link I want to open in a new window it often
doesn't respond to Command, Option, Enter or Shift, Command, Option Enter
unless I arrow away from the link then come back to it. It then seems to work
consistently. So if the command is not working for someone out there try
arrowing away and then back to the link. Like Esther I was questioning my
memory as I thought command,Option Enter was supposed to open a link in a new
window. But, it just was not working! Now, it does if I arrow away and back.
Doing a mouse click on the link also did not make the key command work.
Still this is a quick way to get the site to do what I need.
