I'm hoping that soon by use of the touch cursor in JAWS and object navigation in NVDA we can move Widnows screen readers to the model that is used on the Mac, IOS, and Android for native content to allow users to move by object type and navigate all content without having to be restricted to tabbing. Without modern apps and accessiblity APIs this is closer to being a reality.
