If you simply want to move files from one folder to
another, just open the folder with the files, go to the one you want or select
multiple files which are next to each other by holding down shift and using
the arrow keys, then press Control + X to cut, go to the other folder and
press Control + V to paste.
If you have multiple files and they are not next to each
other go to the first one, then hold down the control key and arrow down (best
to use list view or details view so all the files are in a vertical list),
then whenever you get to a file you want to select press the spacebar without
letting go of the control key, then arrow down again to the next file. When
done repeat the above, control + x to cut and control + v in the other folder
to paste.
Drag and drop works on the Windows 10 taskbar very nicely
if you want to change the order the icons there are in, but it does not work
in all situations where maybe a sighted person can drag and drop with the
mouse, but in most cases other keyboard shortcuts like cut and paste will do
just the same.

Subject: drag and drop with
jaws
Hi.
Trying to learn how to do a drag and drop with JAWS.
I’ve opened a folder with some files in it. Pressed Control + Insert +
Numpad slash and I get that drag and drop and to move the PC cursor, JAWS
cursor or touch pad to the location where I want to drop. When I move to
another folder, and press the same keystrokes I get an error JAWS saying the
drag and drop isn’t found and it might be covered by another window then the
drag and drop action is canceled.
Any ideas what I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks

Was wondering if anyone has knowledge if Spark
Instant Messenger is compatible with JAWS 2018?
Thanks
