Try the Window-Eyes manual. That will be helpful too.----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene" <gsasner@xxxxxxxxx>

Look on the web site for the tutorial and listen to whatever parts are relevant for what you want to learn. Look at the help section in Window-eyes. Control backslash brings up the Window-eyes window. Menus open as they do in any standard program with alt. find the help menu, press enter, and look at the menu items. I'm sure a list of keyboard commands is present. While looking at a list of commands may be useful, it is not a substitute for looking and listening to some instructional material. Just hearing that this or that command brings up a menu or dialog related to Window-eyes won't tell you what items do you are not familiar with.For example, you won't understand anything about the verbosity menu unless it is explained. If you don't know how to use standard Windows help interfaces, ask here. While there are commands you would want to know such as read current line, most commands are not learned or remembered in a vacuum. It makes far moore sense to learn those you will use often and learn others as you learn about Window-eyes and if you intend to use them. In other words, in this and lots of programs, lots of blind people want lists of commands. It often makes far more sense to learn commands as you learn functions you intend to use and what they are. If you generally know how a program works looking through menus and dialogs is a very good way to learn a good deal about an unfamiliar program. for example, if you already know how to work with a recording program, looking through the menus and dialogs of another one may give you a fair amount of information you will understand about using another one.And now, Window-eyes has keyboard help as JAWS does. Either insert and f1 toggles keyboard help off and on. When using keyboard help you will hear what commands do if you issue them.Gene----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve & Shannon Cook" <cookcafe@xxxxxxxxx>To: <accesscomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 7:02 PM Subject: [accesscomp] WE KeystrokesEvening All, I am in the process of learning WE. I have been a JAWS user and want to learn WE. Where can I find a great list of keyboard commands for WE? Iespecially like to find a general list of reading commands. I have figured out how to access the system tray, but how do you access the list of running applications on the task bar? I hope this is not to many questions in onemessage. Thanks in advance for your help. Steve & Shannon Windows Live Messenger: stcook@xxxxxxxxxxx Today I married my best friend. The one that I laugh with, live for, love.
