[nvda] Re: question searching the wiki and a suggestion or 2

Would it be a problem to add a hotkey like: "insert+f7" to make the buffers in 
Firefox and Seamonkey/Mozilla be enabled or disabled at anytime, so that the 
"carrot-browsing feature (f7) can be used with NVDA without it needing to turn 
on VB Pass-through Mode? Also, in Seamonkey/mozilla, can there be a way to use 
the "find links as you type" feature without having NVDA's buffer commands 
getting the way? I'll contact Mozilla myself, and see if I can help them 
improve their carrot-browsing feature. Lastly, while using Mozilla Browsers 
with  NVDA, can there be an option to turn Virtual Buffer keies 


on and off so that the Find Links/Find Text As You Type" features be used 
without conflict?
I hope any of these ideas cn be impimented. Best of luck!
Sincerely,
Trenton

not sure if the hotkey is in the old buffers or not, but in the new buffers
you can press modifier + f5 and it refreshs the buffer.
