[Rwp] Is there a Shortcut for the Input (Recording) Menu?

[Scott Chesworth]

It's swings and roundabouts. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
I'm using NVDA here, but there are plenty of JAWS users around too. So
far as I can tell, the main advantage you've got in this context as a
JAWS user is that JAWS seems to support a stronger OCR engine, which
can be useful for getting through some inaccessible screens in third
party plugins.
