Focus changes that NVDA doesn't seem to notice
I have a new Windows 10 machine with a 1 TB hard drive and 8 GB of RAM. Machine speed may have something to do with it.

Pressing F1 does not bring up a help screen. I particularly want to know the keystroke for the address bar. Sorry for the dumb question. I have a lot of trouble with graphical interfaces. Thanks, John
