For anyone who wants to try a list view on the desktop, similar to the view
in file explorer, no sideways arrowing, just a long list of up and down
arrows and a Window-Eyes mouse that reads each item without items in other
columns,

Go to the desktop.  Make sure nothing is selected.  If it is, press control
space to deselect it.  Press contro-shift-6 (the number on top of the
keyboard).  Voila!

This works in Windows 10.  I don't know about earlier versions.  And I see
now how I must have gotten this in the first place.  On the desktop, a
fingertip reaching for the t to check the title bar and getting the 6
instead.  Not knowing about this nifty shortcut, I was baffled, and then
pleased.  If you choose to go back to the regular view, with nothing
selected on the desktop, press the context menu key and arrow to view and
press enter.  Arrow down to medium icons and press enter.  Voila!

In either view, first letter navigation works.

This is a cleaner view for Window-Eyes, JMO, so just thought I'd share, for
fellow experimenters.  Smile.
