When you use To Do for the web with Narrator, we recommend that you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser. Because To Do for the web runs in your web browser, the keyboard shortcuts are different from those in the desktop program. For example, common shortcuts like F1 (help) and Ctrl+O (Open) apply to the web browser - not To Do for the web.
