Thanksfor this bit of information. I didn't know that some european
keyboards lacked left and right bracket keys. Do european keyboards
follow the qwerty standard? What are the keys located to the right of
the 'p' key? Do you have any suggestions on what other keys we could use
for the mouse movement functions?
Yes most of the keyboards actually are based off of the querty standard with some exceptions. I may not be aware of all those but here are some I have observed so far. The most upper row may work the opposite to the us keyboard. Numbers are typed with shift pressed and some local characters are typed when shift is not pressed. for the other rows I think first 10 keys from the left are almost identical there are just some little exceptions (e.g. I think I have seen some french layout where letters q and a are swapped and in slovak or czech keyboard there might be letter z swapped with y). Other keys at the righthand side do contain other national symbols or if there are no such symbols left they might contain what has been changed in the most upper row e.g. dollar sign, hash, exclaim, paragraph etc. I don't have nice suggestion but the one what seems to be working well for me is dot and comma combined with NVDA or possibly other modifiers.
