A little correction Scott; when QuickNav is enabled, up and down takes you between the items that matches the category you have set with the rotor. Left and right takes you left or right on the screen. It works similar as on an iPHone. Left and right is like flicking left and right with on

Haven't tried it myself yet, but according to the review I just read: hit left and right arrows together to enable or disable quick nav, once enabled, arrow keys alone act as if VO keys are being held down, Hit down and right arrows together to interact, Hit down and left arrows together to end in

Hi Will, There is a huge difference between having the VO keys locked, and using the QuickNav feature. When VO keys are locked, you do not have access to the keyboard for normal use, and you will need to hold the shift key to interact and stop interacting. With QuickNav on, you can do it a

hi josh but as stated in article, its limitations are present so you can't go to the doc with this feature etc etc? so you would still need to use the VO keys to accomplish tasks like links lists, etc On 28 Aug 2009, at 16:27, Josh de Lioncourt wrote: > > Will, > > QuickNav is one of my favo
