[gui-talk] Landmark Navigation in Window-Eyes

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hello Raul,

Please review Peter's question. He's talking about "landmarks" which are 
actually coded into the web site itself by its developers as an 
accessibility feature rather than placemarkers which are user defined. I 
don't believe Window-Eyes currently supports "landmarks" does it?

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.
