Re: Additional help needed with Reading line by line

Hello Linda, First of all, there are two ways of navigating websites: DOM and Groups. I have set a hot key in Keyboard Commander to switch between these modes as I prefer Groups mode in general, but DOM mode for reading articles straight through. DOM mode only allows you to move left and right,

Re: Additional help needed with Reading line by line

Hi, Just a correction. DOM mode will actually allow you to move up and down as well if only using the arrow keys. However, I didn't suggest Group mode because I figured she was using the default settings. The solution in DOM mode is kind of flaky, though. It seems to work for the most part, inc

Re: Additional help needed with Reading line by line

Hello Nic, DOM mode doesn't allow me to do anything when just using the arrow keys except when Quick Nav is on, and in that case, the up and down arrows perform the action selected using the rotor (links, headers, etc.). I suppose if there's a table it's possible to move up and down. Cheers,

Re: Additional help needed with Reading line by line

Hi, Nope. I've done it when reading articles containing no tables, as well. Try Google. It works there, too. :). The way it's done is a bit different for sure, but it's line by line if you're at the beginning of a line when you use this method. You'll see what I mean when I say it's a bit flaky

Repairing permissions, should I close all apps?
