[gui-talk] Landmark Navigation in Window-Eyes

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello. Beginning with Window-Eyes version 7.0 and now still in 7.01, one 
can use place marker features. control-shift-k to set them, and then the 
letter k and shift-k to move amongst the place markers. If you have 
several place markers and you want to jump to one or simply get the 
context of what information is there, you can use the j key. The nice 
thing about place markers is that they can be made to be smart so if the 
text or area you mark moves by several lines, it will still work. In 
today's dynamic world of web pages, this is a must.

many thanks.
