I have installed NVDA in Windows in had a look on it. I don't like its
list. You have first to open the window, select what should be listed
with radio buttons and then you can select an entry.

In JAWS you select what you want with JAWS+F5 (form fields), JAWS+F6
(links) or JAWS+F7 (headings) and then you can select an entry. That is
easier and clearer than the version of NVDA.

I really don't know what's better to use. Three different lists, or a
single list with 'sections'.

I could split the current list into four. All item, links, form fields
and headings. But, is this really necessary?
