What browser are you using? The f8 works fine for me with IE 11.
BTW, it's not that they "took it away"; my understanding is that many browsers (including IE) stopped including this after version 8, so sighted users can no longer copy and paste from a browser window with shifted arrow keys, and ctrl-c, etc. This requires more programming on the part of any screen reader developer, to make things work for you, the way MS doesn't want to support itself. As for notepad, the standard copy/paste commands still do work with it (I use them all the time). I didn't know that f8 was supposed to work there. Are you sure that it is supposed to work there?

When selecting text (using the shift and arrow keys) the text being selected is not spoken. This makes it difficult to select text. I know the text is being selected since I have some vision and copy does work. System details: Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit ZoomText 10.0x WE Beta 3 (same in Beta 2) If this is a problem with the actual program, does anyone know of a better smart XML editor?
