Hi Mike,

That document of key strokes would be most useful if you had the time to put
it together, please keep us all updated,

Thanks,


Scott

Peter,

That's great to know.  Never having used Jaws I wasn't aware of this.

I don't really know why Jaws seems to be the market leader in 
screen-readers.

I've been thinking about the possibility of putting together a screen-reader

keystroke cross-reference document or even web page.  It would be great to 
have the keystrokes for NVDA, Jaws, WindowEyes and Supernova (and others) 
all available in one place and immediately selectable by task without 
searching through loads of documentation.

Mike Ray
