Sam,
This has not changed from the past...how did you know with Window-Eyes
8.4? There is a tone and/or speech that tells you if you are in or out
of browse mode. Meaning if you go in you can hear a tone and or "browse
on". If it turns off you'll hear a different tone and/or "browse off".
Obviously browse mode is only available for certain applications...so if
you are in Microsoft Word you know browse mode isn't even available so
therefor it is off.
You can also just toggle browse mode by pressing control-shift-A. Or you
can press the speak summary hotkey (control-shift-s). If you hear "25
links, 5 headings, blah" you are in browse mode.

Got it, thank you sir,
Last question:
How do we know when we are and are not in browse mode?
Thanks,
Sam

While in browse mode f8 is the only way. Outside of browse mode you
can do whatever you were previously able to do.

Understood, so does the shift/arrow keys work in other places or
is f8 now the only way to select text?

Sam,
Currently f8 is the only way to select data while in browse mode.
Simply move to the beginning of the data you want and press f8.
Move to the other end of the data and hit f8 again followed by
enter. Everything in between your points will be copied into the
clipboard.

For me it’s much faster and much better response so far.
But, when you use the normal way to highlight text shift
arrows it doesn’t seem to work.

So far, the beta is much slower than 8.4 was
. Every link in firefox reports as visited
Mouse still does not work in Firefox.
The wineyes find command took about three seconds to activate.
Down arrowing through a web page gives about a second delay
between pressing the key and reading the text.
That's just initial impressions so far.
