Hi!
Control-Shift-A already does this as long as you are on the control or
edit box.
I think JAWS has this feature and automatically turns it off when on an
edit box. It is a nice idea but one way or another a toggle would have to be
used to get you back out of the edit box afterwards, but this would at least
cut down to one key-combo stroke instead of 2.
One could monitor your controls and fire the hotkey for the
control-shift-A and it would be an easy app to have. Just look for edit
boxes or set it for what control you want it to activate on and that should
be it.
I could monitor my Ribbon_Read app to do this since it reads all
controls and you could activate any kind of control you want it to toggle
for you. I gave a copy of this to the one that wanted TextPad to read
better...

A toggle key, to activate or deactivate, would make great sense with this
idea . Additionally, I'd suggest allowing the user to select his
preferred default.
In my use, I suspect, I would probably opt to have the boxes act as they
now do but only to open up after the toggle.
I tend to read pages with the arrow keys so having browse mode act as it
now does is my preferred style unless I actually wanted to fill out
something.
Good luck with the idea.
Bible study has torn my life apart and remade it. That is to say that God,
through his Word, has done so.
