[gui-talk] A google mail key question:

[albert griffith]

I enabled short cuts in the settings menu but jaws still gets in the way
when attempting to use them.  I'm considering the use of the pass through
key but I'm not sure I can create them all.  I think that key only lets you
work one at a time and it can't be saved as a keystroke specific to that
site.

I thik that there's a setting in the Gmail settings area to enable
keyboard shortcuts. i don't remember off hand where this is, perhaps
in either the general or labs settings. The thing is, in order to
access the labs settings, you need to put Gmail into standard view and
then access the settings. Note that most of the labs options will only
work in the standard view. Many of these are fluff in my opinion, but
I have read about a few that seem like they would be helpful, if they
ever made it over to the Basic HTML side. Anyway, good luck.
