Hi Dave, Help me to understand why you'd like the right arrow to read the previous character and not do the default function of character after... If it were to read the previous character, it would read the one you just left and not the one you are on.
For example, if I were to type hello on a line and press home I would be on the H of hello. If the right arrow was set to read the previous character when I press it, it would say H and not E as it does by default.

In this latest version of Window-Eyes I just get a beep. A second press of END announces the prior charcter as it should. There is clearly a problem with the latest Window-Eyes with regard to reading the prior character after the action as I cannot get the right arrow to read the prior character after the action either. I hope GW Micro will correct this in their next iteration. At 08:31 AM 6/16/2015, you wrote: >Hi, Lou, > >Jeff and I are on the same page here.
