Windows has this wonderful feature called MouseKeys, the keyboard imitating the mouse. Today many if not most websites are almost impossible to navigate without a mouse. A skilled keyboard user using MouseKeys can actually navigate most if not all mouse-based websites, but not a blind person. Is MouseKeys an alternative to making a website accessible for the keyboard in the traditional sense of "tabbing" from link to link, short-cut keys, etc.? Is anybody out there using MouseKeys? Are they helpful for some in the real world? Or are MouseKeys always a very poor alternative to the real keyboard in the traditional sense, and can MouseKeys only be considered a last resort? I never use MouseKeys, I have only tested them. I'm an expert keyboard user but I mostly use the keyboard and the mouse together, since I have the benefit of being able to use both forms of navigation. Cheers, Jesper Tverskov www.smackthemouse.com
