Let me reiterate, however, that it's not the lack of shortcut keys that I find to be inconvenient about the new version. It is that I am unable to navigate through the book content with the arrow keys, so if I need to review a piece of text in detail, I am unable to do this with the newer version. I am able to do this with Bookshelf 7.6.4, though, so thanks again for this suggestion. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Apr 6, 2020 at 2:12 PM <<a href="mailto:kerscher@montana.com">kerscher@montana.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I use NVDA all of the time.

This is insufficient, however, because I want to be able to review the text of the book with NVDA. This is particularly important when reviewing text by character is necessary, such as when reading programming books. I don't see a way to do this.
