All ChromeVox commands are basically flat review. If you mean "explore the layout of a user interface by layout".

For a literal interpretation, you can use speak item under mouse to review the entire screen in a 2-dimensional way. This extends to Chromebooks with touch screens via touch exploration.

In the case of a keyboard, when you are moving by line, you are essentially doing a flat review of the screen, scoped to the containing area of the page, such as a paragraph.

Well, thanks Kara-and-all for all these changes. I may be in a minority,
because I read all my mail in Alpine, a Linux client, but also, LYNX, a
web browser which seemingly will `never have javascript support. Why do I
mention this? I was especially interested in 2 of your changes, the read
current line, as well as seemingly ajusting numbers to single digits.
However, when I click those links, I get this criptic 1line message
To use PolyGerrit, please enable JavaScript in your browser settings, and
then refresh this page.
Many google pages now have this 11link toolbar which won't let you do much
without javascript.
And lastly, can any1 please inform, when will we have a real "flat review"
mode, as almost all other screen-readers have? Thanks so much in advance
