The f keystroke in IE has been around since at least version 5 and takes you to
the next form control on a web page, irrespective of whether it is an input
field or not. Other single letter keystrokes have changed function between
versions 5 and 7. If you use the Insert h help keystroke within IE, the
single letter keystrokes are listed.

Hi,
I just want to add some things here.
Using just the keystroke of F on IE moves the cursor to input form fields. This
may include buttons and blank fields. As someone stated if a person wants to
navigate in IE using just the E key would get you to the next edit field and
the B key would move you to the next button. Please note: these keystrokes only
worked for me in version 7.1. When testing in version 5.1 the E key moves the
cursor to the end of a list, table, or element.
For instance, I tested this on my home page of google. By hitting just the F
key my cursor moved from the edit field where you enter the search parameters
to the search button and next to the I'm feeling lucky button and back again.
By just hitting the E key the cursor would only move to the edit field to enter
search parameters.
Don't forget that most buttons on a web page are considered input fields. That
is why the F key moves to them
The keystroke of control + f can only be used in IE. According to the help it
invokes the IE find dialogue.
The keystroke of insert + control + f invokes the jaws find dialogue which is
slightly different. The help menu does say that using an application find or
search may give more extensive results.
Please note: I only have versions 7.1 and 5.1 to test these results. I am also
using XP home with IE 6.

is for jaws find, but I'm specifically looking for an edit form field on the
internet and I quite can't remember the key stroke for that
