I also thought that, but when I heard that it is not so difficult to change those hotkeys in a screen reader, I thought that it might not be so hard to provide a much better Jaws key layout in Window Eyes.
Would it be so difficult for Window Eyes to execute the function which is executed by Control+Shift+S when the user chooses Insert+Tab? (I hope I remember well the hotkey that tells the name of the current control).
Or would it be so hard to set a pc cursor and a mouse cursor and an invisible cursor mode and let the same standard arrow keys move the mouse or the PC cursor or the invisible cursor? Thinking better, I don't think it would be so hard.

Which is exactly the point. There can be plenty of arguments made about the philosophies behind the different UI's that JFW and Window Eyes employ, but the truth is that you couldn't use Window Eyes wanting it to be JFW more than you could use JFW wanting it to be Window Eyes. This is why I frowned on the JFW keyboard layout option. ON the one hand, I totally value the ease of transition for JFW users not familiar with Window Eyes. ON the other, you really can't slap the JFW layout onto the guts of Window Eyes no matter what you do because of their fundamental differences. So the JFW layout only ends up angering people like Teddy because it really isn't a JFW layout in the sense that they want it to be.Jared __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
