Tje rotor utility is not efficient enough for me, I hate to make a comparison but with jaws I get to a text edit field, like the google webpage one, automatically or by pressing the f key. With voice over in safari, when I go to the google webpage I have to use the VO keys along with the right arrow key several times, about 4 or 5, to get to the text edit field. The safari way requires more key strokes, if I could remove key strokes then better. I could use the web item rotor and the fo to forms, and then the text edit field but I think this requires the same number of keystrokes. Maybe as I get used to the mac I will get better and be able to find a wayt o do this. I will try grouping mode to see if this helps. Should the voice over cursor be focus on the google search field when i load the google web page? It does on other pages, like the gmail web page. Maybe if I turn off automatic speaking of webpages when they load. Thank for clarifying the thing about the multiple tabs, I search online, on google, and only found one solution for this, and i think it was becuase of safari 5 extensions, whcih I currently do not have. With everyone saying that it caused them trouble I will stay away from it for another month or so. Thanks again for the response. alfredo
