Hi there,
I think this is a matter of preference and getting used to. Jaws cursor is also a specific mode of working with the arrow keys, and if you merely switch to Jaws cursor without routing it to the current location of the PC one first, it seems to be similar to NVDA's flat review to me in that the cursor will not appear right in your area of interest. Likewise, with NVDA you have to navigate to the particular object first (which is the same as routing the Jaws cursor to the PC one) and only then can switch to flat review to actually find out the contents of that object. You are using a different set of keystrokes here, not just the arrow keys like in Jaws, which is of course simpler and more intuitive, right, but I think the principle is more or less the same.
So if NVDA implemented a keystroke which would switch the arrow keys between their normal functionality or performing what the review cursor keys do now, and another one to quickly route the review cursor to the current focus and turn on flat review, we could experience the same level of comfort and simplicity that Jaws users are used to.

I won't be using this account any more or participating in the forum activity through other childish means like creating an alternate account. I've asked for the account to be removed but I'm not sure if that's actually technically possible here. Just writing this for people to know that I won't be replying, posting new topics or checking private messages until the account is potentially removed.
