HI,

Yes, I use the numpad commander and I have a full keyboard but there are
only so many keys you can use on the number pad.

as far as reassigning the vo keys, do you use a number pad or a full  
keyboard?  if so, you can use numad commander and never have need of  
the vo keys at all.

I wish there was a feature to turn off speech and just have braille  
and no I don't mean just turning down the volume. smile
I'd also like to see braille able to not follow the cursor so I could  
read while somebody was typing.
I also get frustrated when I command tab back into pages or another  
word processor, that VO insists on reading my whole document to me  
instead of just the line I am on or even nothing.
I totally agree we need app specific settings.
I think the knowing when and when not to interact might be difficult  
as how would VO know when you need to interact or not? I think this  
kind of thing can be found out by trial and error.
What I really wish somebody would do is write VO-specific  
documentation for Apple software like iWork or iLife so people would  
know what to do if they can't just click everywhere.
Well, that's it for now.
Sara
