Yes, Tom this is my understanding if you want WindowEyes to behave more like 
JAWS as far as the keyboard commands are concerned.

>> 3.  In that startup wizzard, you can choose the keyboard layout you want.

>> I am not sure about the differences with n1mm and n3fjp.
>> Here I use system access, nvda, jaws, and window-eyes.  They all have
