Yeah Eric Wright uses a Dragon macro to call WRS commands that Dragon misses, like "show numbers" (shows all clickable elements... we heard in a github issue that there is a "show links" but this totally does nothing on 13 on IE11, seems to work for Eric but he's moved on to 15 and uses chrome now, the only usable browser nowadays if you don't stick to IE).

Also found aria-label worked on text inputs but not textareas. Lol.

cheers,
