That's exactly the scenario I had in mind when writing this: a
click-and-droll with CTRL and SHIFT (conventionally). The other situation
involves Web browsing. Try tabbing your way through some of the bloated
CMS's that run mainstream Web sites. Search as you begin typing (/a la/
Firefox accessibility feature, as well as lynx, with specials preceding
sequences for, e.g. links) just /might/ be quicker, in theory/principle.
Many sites still embed text in images and neglect to use the alt attribute
(IE and MS development tools encourage no honouring of Web standards and
accessibility traits).
Best wishes,
Roy
