Re: Keyboard navigation

In opera, F9 is blur, so in a form field you can always use F9 to enter navigation mode and leave form mode.

The header navigation is great -- when it works. It has a tendency to be confused by some divs; sometimes it gets trapped. But I still use it frequently.

I sometimes use speech off NVDA for element navigation but unexpected things do happen with the viewable elements on the page. Plus reponse time is very slow. I agree that browser builtins or add-ons would be an easier way to handle this.
