Windows Accessibility Shortcuts:

The keyboard shortcuts listed below are available when working within a UI form using assistive technology software, specifically JAWS and NVDA. The Access Forward and Back keys allow movement between fields on a form regardless of whether the field is inquiry or maintainable. Access Forward will change focus to the next field on the form as defined by the form's field order. Access Back will change focus to the previous field on the form. When focus is on an Envision window field, the Access Forward and Back keys function as Tab and Shift+Tab, respectively.

There are two options for reading data in the row of Envision windows. Read Window Row will read column and data information according to the Verbose Accessibility setting in the Miscellaneous section of the Preferences panel. If this flag is checked, Read Window Row will read verbose data, including the name of the window, the column number, the name of the window element, whether the element is maintainable or inquiry, and the value of the element. If this flag is unchecked, Read Window Row reads only the column number and the element value. Elucidate Window Row Detail reads the verbose version of Read Window Row.

Note: Some of these shortcuts may not work in all browsers. Browser plug-ins or other applications may override these shortcuts and activate different commands.
