[RWP] Does Anyone Know How To Get NVDA to Skip Edit Boxes?

[Indigo]

Scott, I tried unchecking auto focus, in NVDA, which caused me more 
problems than running it; causing web pages to become unfocused and floaty.
I got some more stability by; in preferences/review mode, unchecking 
follow system focus and follow system carat, also unchecked simple 
review mode, and placed a checkmark on follow mouse cursor.
Now, i'm getting a webpage that's more like the good old days, with 
every link at the tab key responding to clicks from the enter key, and 
the cursor not sticking inside edit boxes as much when I'm arrowing 
quickly down a page.
I still hear the cash register clink audio indication that the cursor is 
crossing a search box, but the cursor  unsticks from the search box most 
of the time if I just continue arrowing down.
That seems a good enough compromise at the moment.
I still haven't found any method of reaching the upper right corner of a 
web page.
You'd think there would be a number pad navigation shortcut to shoot the 
mouse cursor to the upper right, corner so I could left click on that 
tiny X that immediately exits many web pages.
Thanks,
Indi
