How do I find the keystrokes for Microsoft Edge?
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

I think a separate list is most apropriate. The developoment list shouldn't be encumbered with questions from newbies in programming. That said, I am willing to act as a mentor for a separate list. Jo

I tried the nvda+shift+space combination in Firefox and nothing worked, not even the arrow keys and tab key. I had to tell NVDA not to save the configuration on exit and then restart it. John

How can I tell if my computer has the Creaters update?
That might have something to do with the quick navigation keys not working. Or it could be because a Microsoft update turned on an accessibility feature that is interfering with NVDA. Thanks, John
