Hi Patrick,

You are right, but I am also in this case. Control shift down arrow will
start skimming from where the cursor is sitting. That is what I meant. Press
Jaws key plus regular number one to turn keyboard help on, and hit control
insert numpad down arrow. This will give you a synopsis as to what the
hotkey does.
