Hi:
When you are on a web page and in virtual cursor mode various keys do
different things
e.g.
letter u jump to next unvisited link
letter v jump to the next visited link
letter e jump to the next edit box
letter g jump to next graphic
letter c jump to next combo box
letter x ump to next checkbox
there are others. best approach is go to a web page and switch into the
keyboard help insert plus number 1 from top row of key board and this way you
can experiment and hear what the keys do and nothing will happen. remember the
insert plus 1 key is a toggle and will turn of the key board help.
of course if you use the shift key on any of thecommands instead of moving
down the page to the next element, it will move upwards. and when you hit the
bottom element it jumps to the top of the page.
Have a good day.

sorry Patrick, I did
not find any quick key to move to a link regardless
if it was visited or
not. the only way is pressing the insert+f7 as
previously
mentioned.

in response to your questions:
pressing insert+f7 gives you a
listing of all of the links on a page,
whether they were visited or not.
pressing enter or tabbing to the
activate button and pressing enter or
spacebar on the one selected
activates the link. you can also tab to a move
to button and pressing
the enter or spacebar will select the link on the
webpage without
activating the link. there might be a quick key to do what
you want;
I'll have to see, unless someone finds it first.
if forms
mode has been set to manual,
pressing the enter or spacebar on an edit field
turns on forms mode and
pressing the escape key or the pc cursor (numpad
plus key when numlok is
off) turns off forms mode.
pressing the
application key (to the right of the right windows key),
shift+f10 (if you
don't have an application key) or pressing the right
mouse click key (numpad
star (times/multiply)) will most likely give you
an opportunity to save the
link as something, depending on what the link
is for and if the website
author permits the downloading of whatever it is.

Group,
As I continue the transition from Window Eyes to
JAWS 18 I have the
following web browsing command questions.
I know
<U> can be used to browse unvisited links, and <V> for visited
links, and <F> for web elements. Is there a key stroke to browse by
links regardless if they have been visited or not?
On a related topic, I
see <E> is the command to navigate by edit
fields. Are <space
bar> and <ESC> the JAWS equvilent to the WE
<CTRL>-<SHIFT>-A for toggling on/off within an edit field?
In WE I could use the <CTRL>-<SHIFT>-F10 command to right click on
a
link and get the "save link as" command. What would the JAWS
equvilent
be using JAWS 18 and Firefox, on a Windows 10 machine?
Thanks,
Patrick
