Michael,
This doesn't answer your questions, but you mentioned how nice it would be
to have a third hand while navigating with JAWS. You may know about the
following tip, but here it is:
Keyboard Layout can be set to "Laptop" in Options > Basics, even if you use
a PC. This allows you to enable the Caps Lock key as a JAWS modifier in the
Keyboard Manager.
This is one of many tips I stole from Flor. and one of the few times I'm
giving him credit.
