Hi, If you are running Lion and have both QuickNav and the "one key navigation" feature turned on, you will experience no ability to enter text in textfields on web pages. Both QuickNav and "one key navigation" are great features, but if you use them both, you have to either press left and right arrow keys down at the same time to toggle QN off to enter text, and then turn it on again with the same two keys when you're finished. You might also interact with the text field when you want to write something there, and then stop interaction wehn you're finished. Or, since you're new to VoiceOver, it may be smart to turn off the "one key navigation" feature in the beginning of your exploration of all the features. You'll find the settings for this in the VoiceOVer Utilities, under the Commander category, and under the QuickNav settings there.
