Hi Tom, Just a minor correction in your post below. In your last paragraph, clearly you meant to use the word "content" rather than "context." I'm picking nits here only for clarity. Smile
Thanks for the post, btw, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Tom Kingston via Talk Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 9:40 PM To: Lloyd Rasmussen <l...@sprynet.com>; Window-Eyes Discussion List <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: Re: selecting text Just remember that the F8 selection method is specific to browse mode and in both cases (in a browser or an email client) you have to go back and forth. When I'm reading a message in Thunderbird I'm in browse mode and have to use the F8 method. But when I'm writing a message I'm not and have to use the standard shifted method. Same in a browser. When you're reading a page it's F8 and when you exit browse mode to enter text in an edit box you have to fall back on the shifted method. The only constant is when you're in the context pane of a CHM file. then you're always in browse mode.
