[NFBCS] Resources for new Edge and PowerPoint

[Charles Vanek]

I have found the new edge browser to be quite fast and enjoyable. One thing that I can’t get over is that you can’t turn off the virtual cursor with insert plus Z. Are use Jira at work a lot and find that I need to be able to turn on and off the virtual cursor so that I can use the J K M C and other hotkeys that Jira provides for navigation on their webpage. Would love to hear any tips or other ways around this.
