ChromeVox Keyboard Shortcuts do not work on Windows 7 64-bit #129

On the 64-bit version of Windows 7 ChromeVox Keyboard Shortcuts do not work. 
According to the ChromeVox Keyboard Shortcuts Reference page found at 
http://www.chromevox.com/keyboard_shortcuts.html, the ChromeVox key is Control 
+ Alt. However, no keyboard shortcut that involves the ChromeVox key works. For 
example none of the commands in the Basic Navigation section of that page 
perform the action that is indicated.

Examples:

1. ChromeVox + Down, which is supposed to be the same as Control + Alt + Down, 
is supposed to Navigate Forward. Instead it just scrolls the page down exactly 
the same way that the down arrow alone does.

2. ChromeVox + Up, which is supposed to be the same as Control + Alt + Up, is 
supposed to Navigate backward. Instead it just scrolls the page up exactly the 
same way that the up arrow alone does.

3. ChromeVox + R, which is supposed to be the same as Control + Alt + R, is 
supposed to start reading from current location. This does absolutely nothing.

I am using Google Chrome version 32.0.1700.76 and ChromeVox 1.31.1 on Windows 7 
64-bit Service Pack 1 with all updates installed.

I'm using Windows 7 too and unable to navigate at all with Chromevox key 
combination (ctrl + alt) and arrows.

Double clicked "insert" key to go into sticky mode (saving on having to press 
Chromevox keys each time) and down arrow works as expected :-)

Managed to disable ChromeVox using the sticky keys and now am unable to 
reenable it.
Seems Windows is capturing the ctrl+alt keyboard shortcuts. 
If I do ctrl+alt+up it rotates my monitors instead...

It seems that this issue has been fixed in Google Chrome version 34.0.1847.131 
and ChromeVox 1.31.4. I did have to go to the ChromeVox Options page and select 
the Reset Current Keymap option. That reset the ChromeVox modifier key to 
Shift+Alt, which works. Of course the ChromeVox user guide still says that the 
ChromeVox modifier key is Control+Alt.

It has not been fixed. Ctrl+Alt will not work for me and I have found no way to 
change the default keys that are Cvox, you'd think this would be a no brainer.

In recent builds the ChromeVox modifier key has been switched to Shift+Alt. 
This works on Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1. I am currently using ChromeVox 
1.31.5.

shift + alt seems to be able to toggle ChromeVox on and off in windows 7 64 
bit. still have to learn how to use this extension, but I am blind, and I 
really like it.
