You know Judy, it's funny you should mention quick nav. When I first got my
Mac book Pro, I told myself that I'd almost never use the regular
command+option combination for the VO+* key strokes; instead, I'd use only
quick nav or else the Mac compatible number keypad. Guess what, though, I did
start out using quick nav for maybe the first week or so; but now, I find,
(perhaps ironically), that I almost never use quick nav anymore. I must admit
quite frankly that I surprised myself when I discovered that I now usually use
the regular VO keys. Why, I think maybe I know why. It has to do with web
navigation. If I'm entering a password in a password field, I can't use quick
nav to get quickly to the next field or button but must use the regular VO
keys. As for the USB number keypad, That's another physical piece of equipment
to lug around and so I just don't do it. When I have my Mac book Pro on my lap
in my living room and I'm watching a DVD in 5.1 channel sound on my AV
receiver, the last thing I want is to worry about my USB number key pad. I
find myself drifting more and more away from quick nav; which, I must say,
really is not what I expected. Still, it might be good to play with it just to
keep in practice.
Thanks for the reminder that it even exists.
Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray!!!

I asked the original question and was chagrined the answer was so easy, bt I
want to add that I'm now doing many things with quick-nav such as opening docs,
expanding the attachments toggle, etc. saves a keystroke or two.
