Hi,
You can toggle the feature on and off from within browse mode by
pressing control-slash.

<grin> I think it really depends on the specific webpage you are
working with. For example, I think this feature makes using the Google
home page more efficient if you want to perform a search. But, I am
sure there are other sites where this might not be the case.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for this. I tend to be more of a control freak when it comes to
browse mode; but, I'm wondering whether you personally like the Auto
Form Interaction, and whether it causes you confusion at all.
Thanks,
Rod

I wanted to add a few more details about the auto form interaction
feature for those who are interested in how it works. Juan already
pointed out how this feature can be enabled or disabled using the
Browse Mode verbosity options in the Window-Eyes control panel.
This is good to know in case you want to go back to the old way of
always manually turning Browse Mode on and off. If you decide to
stick with auto form interaction, here are the scenarios that I am
aware of in which Window-Eyes will automatically turn off Browse
Mode for you:
1.When your focus starts in an edit box when a web page is first
loaded (e.g. Google, banking sites where you start in the username
edit box). Your initial focus is controlled by the design of the
web page.
2.When you click in an edit box or any other type of form control
that requires Browse Mode be turned off to interact with using the
mouse pointer
3.When you Tab or Shift-Tab into an edit box or other type of form
control that requires Browse Mode be turned off to interact with

OK, I haven't seen this anywhere except for Google with IE 11, on
Windows 8.1, Window-Eyes 8.4, but I'm noticing that as soon as I
open and navigate to google, my focus gets put in the search edit
field, which is fine, but it's automatically making me have to turn
browse mode back on with ctrl+shift+A. the only other way to
navigate the google page is to tab once to the google search button,
again to the I'm feeling lucky button, and then one more time to the
first link on the page past that point. It's very awquared having
it do this. Again, it's not doing it on any other page from what I
can see. I'm just wonderring why it's doing this, and is there a
way to turn that off, so that as soon as I open google's web site, I
immediately, once loaded completely, can start just down arrowing
through the content? It's kind of aggrevating otherwise.
Chris.
