Hi Mohammed! A quick way to open applications is to use the command [command+shift+a ] That will put you in the app's! For the navigation of web you can turn quick nav on by pressing the left and right arrows down at the same time [vo will say either quick nav on or off] Other methods include opening the web rota with the command [vo+u ] and in there you can move from left to right or right to left through headings, links, visited links,form controls, frames and others! Then when your on something you want like headers you can down arrow to get to what you want! Or if you know what your heading your looking for just type the first few letters and the list of headers will narrow down! Or links or form controls which ever your on! So you get to your header in the list just press vo+space and it will put you right there! And if it is a link you want to open just vo+space again! You can also open Item chooser with the command [ vo+i ] and down arrow through items there as well that option will or should also show you things like the close button and other stuff! So I hope this is of some help to you! Colin Qapla!
