Cursoring keys:
These are applications keys. You simply tell Window-Eyes what you want voiced
after the application acts on the command. Your choices are: prior char before,
prior char after, char before, char after, next char, previous word, word, next
word, prior line, line, next line, sentence, paragraph, to end of line, light
bar, marked text, caret position, field data and/or name, title/status, speak
window, activate window, mouse top left, load set, or ignore speak windows. For
example, Control-Right Arrow in WordPerfect would be setup to read the current
word. You can even link two of these options to a single keystroke.

physical mouse
