Hi Sieghard,
I've never encountered Jaws going into application
mode, but do you know in what version of Jaws this feature was first
implemented? Thanks much. I'd like to know for the sake of saving
notes with correct versions of Jaws.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

No, Jaws drops into application mode automatically if it
detects a web application, as far as I know you can’t deliberately enable
it.
Hi David,
Is there a way to enable this mode
manually?

Hi, again. Another example of this is the video player Comcast uses on
their Xfinity Stream Web app.
When you begin playing a TV program or a movie. JAWS goes into application
mode when the player window opens as it's actually more beneficial to interact
with the player in this mode than it is when using the virtual cursor. You
can, of course, use the virtual cursor if you want to but application mode
gives you some additional functionality. As an example, pressing up arrow or
down arrow raises or lowers the volume, respectively. Pressing left arrow or
right arrow moves backward or forward through the video, when applicable.
Pressing M mutes or unmutes the audio, pressing the question mark key
generates a list of shortcut keys, etc. If you had the virtual cursor enabled
much of this functionality would not work unless you first press the
pass-through hotkey before pressing one of these dedicated keys. In JAWS, the
pass-through hotkey is insert-3, the 3 being on the row of numbers and not on
the numeric keypad. David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist JAWS Certified, 2019 WWW.DavidGoldfield.org

Hi,
My apologies, but what's "application
mode?"
I've never heard of it until
now.
>If I understand your question correctly, I get
out of applications mode by pressing the PC cursor twice quickly.That is
exactly right.
That is exactly correct. Pressing the PC cursor key twice quickly
reactivates either the PC cursor or the virtual cursor. Most likely it
will be the virtual cursor assuming this is happening on a Web
page.
Had an
issue today with application mode.
I was
uploading a file, and when I got done with it, I couldn't get out of
application mode.
Not to
mention, that it didn't tell me whether I was uploading a resume, a
reference, or a cover letter.
I used
rout jaws to pc to arrow around some, then used rooted pc to jaws to
break out of it.
Also, I
found that hitting enter twice, and or pulling up the links list and
selecting, move to link worked.
However, I
was wondering if any of you had a better way of working with
that…
Thanks,
Justin
