[nfbcs] NVDA review mode

[Chun Chao]

Try running NVDA with the "laptop" keyboard configuration and then use the
keyboard help, Ins + 1, to see what are the available navigation keys.
I believe there are ways to use navigation without the number pad because
JAWS also has a "laptop" keyboard configuration for computers without a
number pad.
When I used Windows XP, I had a notebook without a number pad and I recall I
was able to do just fine; that was about 3 years ago.
I currently use a 17.3" Windows 7 laptop that has a number pad so I am using
NVDA in desktop mode.

What does one do if one doesn't have the numpad?  I am running NVDA on my
netbook, which only has a laptop-style keyboard.  Hmm, perhaps this is why I
haven't been able to figure out review mode--I don't have the keys for it.
