Hello, Just to add to what Donna and Colin said, the fastest way to get the date and time without the keyboard commander is to press Control F8 and then left arrow. Control F8 (or VO M, M) jumps you to the status bar, where you have icons for clock, battery, bluetooth, etc. Pressing left arrow once puts you on the clock icon. Note that in fact the clock icon is the last one on the row, and the left arrow wraps around to the last position. This doesn't happen if you have QuickNav on.
