In most windows screen readers, they create the "Virtual focus" mode, or be it, possibly under a different name.

The (opensource) screen reader Orca has a "Flat review" mode, where the user uses the keys on the number pad to navigate the screen, 7 is previous line, 8 speaks the currentline, 9 speaks the nextline down, 6 thenext word, 5 the current word, 4 the previous word, and 1, 2, and 3 are the same with characters, I think this would be a great feature for NVDA, to be able to read the hole screen from the number pad. Also, there whould be a feature for laptops, which works on the u, i, o, j, k, l, m, ,, and . keys. I also think there should be two sets of key bindings, but that's a different ticket.
