Hello Josh, Could you please explain a bit more about how exactly it is more powerful? Everytime I've used it Item Chooser seemed to be just a smart search that was clever enough to only show results which contained certain letters.

When you press it, it brings up a sort of menu of everything being displayed in the window. If you type a few letters in, the menu shrinks to only include items which contain the letters you typed. It is actually much nicer than a traditional find command, as you are describing, and a whole lot more powerful. :) HTH. Josh de Lioncourt .my other mail provider is an owl.

Webformator displays the webpage in a sort of text-file which allows you to just browse it, i mean go through it all with arrow up/down and tab to go to link/link. You can use (and that is the one great feature I love about webformator) control-f to search for specefic text in a webpage. Since it is a text file (sort off, you can stiull click on links) it does not restrict you to link but will also instantly point you to a word in the actual body of the webpage, i often visit forums etc that I know quite well and find this feature very useful because it means I can navigate them quickly and efficiently. Also since, once again its a text file I can search for for example combobox in the control-f dialog and it will bring me to the first of these. I wonder if anything like this exists in safari-voiceover? I am actually hoping that transition will be easier for me becaus eI hav emostly been using a kin dof dumb screenreader, just using the windows commands and not many screenreader ocmmands at all so I am hoping I will be able to adapt quickly.
