[nfbcs] Links on a Website

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Mike and everyone,

    And let's not forget about our screen reader's "List of Links" feature. 
I use it all the time especially when I'm on large Web sites. Mary does this 
too. For example if I'm in the "Publications" area of the NFB site and wish 
to check out the latest goings on with the Jernigan Institute I bring up the 
links list feature in JAWS with the keystroke Jaws Key+F7. When the "List of 
Links" dialogue box appears I press the letter (L) until I hear "Learn About 
the Jernigan Institute." I then press enter to go directly to the NFBJI home 
page without first going back to the home page. It's a combination of 
including controls on site pages to reduce repetitious links and learning 
one's screen reader's functionality to allow you to deal with this situation 
efficiently.

Why would you even want Control-Down-Arrow to go one link at a time as you
can do this with the tab or back-tab key.
