As I said, the home key is used to get to the beginning of the current
line in Windows, so perhaps it, rather than the Up Arrow, might be used.
I'd still want to be able to read line by line while in SayAll. We're
no longer designing a JAWS from scratch; so that at any one time there
are many, many more active users of the program than learning users of
it. There must have been a reason why FS chose the shift key; perhaps
it is more 'sticky' and/or flexible. Some key assignments are, however,
possible to change. (Keyboard manager, etc.)

I tested Jaws when reading a line and when you stop speech and focus
returns
to the beginning of the line. I am proposing that you should stop at
the
begining of the word you stopped on and this word should be read out to
the
user to confirm the cursor location.
I think it makes more sense to use the up and down arrow keys rather
than
shift when in say all mode as this simplifies the number of keys used.
If
you want to read by line you will still be able to but not while in say
all
mode.
Thanks,
Nigel
It's not what Operating system you use, it's how productive you are with
it.
