Hello Brian/ Jonathan,

Aware of Insert+F7 and Insert+B.

But exactly want to know the shortcut if any to pull the list of other
elements like images, tables, all form fields etc using NVDA (JAWSCtrl+Insert+ element's quick key).

If I am not wrong Insert+ B is to read out the dialog content but not to
navigate item by item in the dialog. Looking for the shortcut to navigate
item by item in the dialog in JAWS like I found in NVDA, Voice Over,
Narrator. I heard of this touch cursor but I never used it. Let me try this
Jonathan and then will come up with my experience.

Thank you guys for the info.

Thanks,
Venkatesh
