Mary, you've obviously not used JAWS for a while, we've had auto forms mode now for a good few years, this completely removes that issue, you just arrow / tab to the edit field and JAWS auto enters it, then auto exits it for you.
very handy. in terms of the virtual buffer, that too I believe is gone and we now have a mirror driver, much better.

Hi Neil, When you use things like h to move among headers, you're using jaws key commands. All those handy one key commands you use with internet explorer are jaws, not Windows commands. And the trade off for those is the necessity of forms mode in Jaws, browse mode in Window Eyes, etc. So enter a form and instead of typing right away, you have to first enter forms mode, which is accomplished with a specific screen reader command, because that mode is not native to the os. Don't get me wrong. I also really like the single key navigation you can accomplish on the web with a windows screen reader. But there are productivity tradeoffs involving forms mode and loading of the virtual buffer.
