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

[Chris Belle]

Got to give jaws the nod for  o c r.

Window-eyes get's the nod for mousing around, and n v d a gets the nod 
for best navigation on the web these days.

Jaws always gets stuck in forms mode,
poor old window-eyes just can't read half the stuf out there,
or get's locked up, and n v d a just mostly works most of the time.
but there are some things it can't get that window-eyes does,
so you need all three plus a lot of cussing and an ocational pair of 
willing eyes
to get work done.
