Well Steph,
Quick Nav is a way to use the arrow keys to navigate in Voice Over without
having to use the key combinations control+command with the right and left
arrow keys. If one has either a full Mac keyboard with the number key pad,
this is a moot point; since, after all, one can use the numpad commander to do
the very same thing. Now, if one does not have a built in number keypad on the
keyboard itself, quick nav does provide a very physically convenient way to
navigate with Voice Over so that one does not, (under most circumstances) need
to use the control+option+right or left arrow keys. I do like it, but, as I
say, for some strange reason, I drifted away from using it after the second
week or so. You, however, may find yourself preferring it. It's a matter
really of trying it out and seeing if you like it.
Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray!!!
