Hello, To separate the main interface from browser keyboard navigation keys 'Mouse Keys' is a good example. 'Mouse Keys' gives disabled people unusual one keystroke commands from Number Pad keys only when the software is Enabled. Perhaps a Menu option within browsers could activate an appropriate set of one keystroke browsing commands. By showing that 'Browser Keys' are active it would be clear an Accessibility option is running, & differentiate it from the main interface so that the vast majority of buyers aren't disturbed by needed extras. For shared systems it might be worthwhile to take a que from 'Sticky Keys' & have 'Browser Keys' turn Off automatically if unused for a set time. Learning keyboard browsing commands is worthwhile since the distance traveled over the keyboard will be reduced & fewer keystrokes will be needed to traverse Web pages with scores of links. Regards, Bryan -> "Just because we call it the Web does not mean its supposed to tangle people up!"
