[nabs-l] NVDA Questions

[Gerardo Corripio]

  Hi Ariel and Listers: Definitely a bit of a learning curve especially 
in the equivalent of Jaws cursor (In NvDA is called Object Navegation) 
but other than that, it's nearly the same as Jaws; Oh and also a 
learning curve in that when going to a form field, you have to do Enter 
to get in; other than that it's nearly the same; same basic commands 
using the Caps lock key plus down arrow to read all, Caps lock key (also 
called the NVDA key) plus up arrow reads current line.
The NVDA keyboard help and manual found by going to NVDA+n to reach the 
NVDA menu, are very helpful and welll done! Good luck!
