Kyle, you are showing exactly the attitude that drives so many normal 
users crazy.  Now, I defended the idea of developers creating a distro 
just for the blind. A lot of people don't even approve of that. But you 
could at least recognize that a lot of people would benefit if screen 
reader developers would work together to make the shortcut keys as 
similar as possible. If the shortcut keys are similar, it's mostly just 
a coincidence. As time goes by, they are going to be less and less 
similar. For once in your life, can't you have an open mind to the 
possibility that you don't have all the answers? Sheesh!
