I don't think I've ever used the keyboard learn mode with Jaws or Window-Eyes. I think the only reason I'd use it with a mac is because I can't seem to just press the arrow keys to navigate around. Somebody please correct me if I am understanding this wrong, but from what I have read so far, arrow keys get a blind person nowhere. How do people edit text in a word processor? Do you need to use control option with all arrow keys all the time? I know you can lock them and that would help but just want to clarify. What about with the numpad? Can those keys be used instead of control option arrows to move around and have text read? I think I am missing something. It's probably a lot easier than it sounds. smile

Learning the Keyboard can be done with out interfearing with your work. Pressing VO keys-k will cause Voiceover to speak the name of each key and if you press a combination of keys, Voiceover will tell you what that combination of keys will do.
