You could probably use the insert key as a modifier key. My laptop has
an insert key which is just to the left of the delete key. Page up and 
or page down might be a bit cumbersome in my situation since they are 
all in a single vertical row; delete, home, page up, page down, and 
finally end. The insert is to the left of the delete key. I think many 
of you are still thinking in terms of the jaws key layout which uses 
the numpad keys. This is being abandoned more and more in later 
versions of screen readers. Anyway, this is great work on this thing, 
to say the least.

Another question concerning keyboard layout and object navigation. What 
is the power or advantage in object navigation as opposed to the way 
that JAWS and window eyes does it?
