But if you hit the 'l' key for the list of links view, it shows up with the title text from the anchor slash link elements as the link text in the list-of-links page. Except for the skip-navigation link where the element title never shows up even in the list of links, because of the way that Lynx handles internal links in this context. The page title and not the link title is used where links go from one place to another in the current page. >JAWS reads the title text.

Can anyone tell us what the list of links view in Window-Eyes uses? If one does not use the list-of-links view, how hard is it to read all the text, including what comes in each list item before the link text, and follow the link that you wish when you get to it?
