Scott,Using Window Eyes, all the navigational short cut keys seem to work as with HTML:
h moves between headings s moves between lists adding shift to those keys moves backwards insert+tab creates a list of linksBecause I navigated using the same keystrokes in the wiki as on a webpage, I did not know that the language was different.

Folks,We need to keep in mind that while a wiki page feels like a duck and quacks like a duck it doesn't taste like a duck to some software.While HTML is globally standardized wiki markup language is not. Some of what works for HTML pages, like navigating headings by pressing H, may not work at all on a wiki page.Which, if any, of these sorts of shortcuts work for you in this wiki document? Which screen reader are you using as you test this?Scott Rains Benetech Fellow, Bookshare Volunteer Department ________________________________________From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy B.

I found it tobe quite useful. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan Beaver Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 3:50 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: new online scanning and proofreading manual Hi Scott, I would like to add my voice to the thoughts that the layout of the manual is quite unpleasant to use for screen reader users.the mechanism of reading through a section and then having to return to theTOC to find the links to the next desired section is very cumbersome.I too fear that this may result in new volunteers becoming confused becauseof having to spend so much time navigating the manual rather than reading.I too feel it would be much more effective to have the entire manual on onesite page so that any section can be reached either via a search of by navigating via heading and the like. I can say that if my wife were reading the manual she too would become frustrated and she is sighted. She finds it rather bothersome to have toclick through multiple links just to find a specific page in a manual. Shehas spoken this very frustration to me many times. thanks.
