What is the alternate command to display items in the System Tray? INSERT plus F11, and what’s the other one?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you add those applications to the taskbar, you will be able to bring each
application pressing windows key + a number on the number row. For example
if I have on my taskbar IE, firefox, outlook, excel, and word. If I press
windows key + 1, then Ie will be on the top, if I press windows key + number
2 on the number row, then firefox will be on the top over Ie.
Thanks

Subject: Jaws script for switching between applications

Hi all,

I am typically running several application: IE, CMD, Cygwin and Visual
Studio. I am looking for a keyboard shortcut to switch to a particular
application.

For example, I would like to have a keyboard shortcut that would switch me
to a cygwin window. I don't want to press Alt-TAB multiple times and look
for the right window in the list of running applications. I am using braille
display, and alt-tabbing takes too long time. I switch applications often,
and I am looking for more effective way to switch between applications.

For example, I would love to have a script that would sweitch me to the
cygwin window no matter what application is currently active and no matter
how long ago I used cygwin the last time. Then I would love to assign a
keyboard shortcut to this script, something like
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C, for example. And I would have a peace of mind,
knowing that wherever I am, I can always switch to cygwin in just a single
keystroke.

Windows key + numbers. This is what I'm currently using. For example I
have Windows key + 2 switches me to IE. The problem with it is that it
is frustratingly unreliable. They only work about 80% of the times,
and for the remaining 20% they set the focus to the task bar.
Sometimes the success rate goes down even lower than 50%, at which
point I have to reboot my computer. I've had this problem on two
computers, one of which had a brand new windows. By the way, does anyone
else experience the unreliability of this shortcut, or only me?


Alt-tab is NOT what I'm looking for, since it switches to the last
used application. I would like to have one shourtcut for IE, another
for MCD and so on, so that whenever I want to switch to IE I would
press that shourtcut just once. Pressing Alt-tab multiple times surely can
switch me to any running app, but this way is too slow, I am looking for a
more efficient solution.

Insert+f10 is NOT what I'm looking for. The reason is the same as for
alt-tab: it requires finding the right app in the list.

Ctrl+Alt+Letter is NOT what I'm looking for. You can assign this type
of shortcuts in the properties of applications on the desktop. But
that would start a new application instead of switching to an existing
one.

So:
1. Is there a way to make windows key + number keyboard shortcut more
reliable?
Or:
2. Is there a way to assign keyboard shortcuts to specific apps?
Maybe a jaws script or something?

And again, I would like to reiterate what I need. I whish I could switch to
cygwin with Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C, and switch to internet explorer with
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I, and so on.

I am not afraid of hacking, so if there is either a jaws script, or any
other hacky script, that can switch me to a particular application and that
can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut, please let me know.



I'm using the latest Windows 10 and Jaws 17.

Thanks
Tony

Hi,

Does anyone know how accessible any of the e-mail services, like Mail
chimp, is with JAWS? I use 2 laptops. One is running Windows 10 the
other runs Windows 7. I use JAWS 18, 17 and 16 at different times.

Appreciate Any Help,

Greg

Hi,

How do you discover within Overdrive which other resources your library offers? I'm hoping to find out what other resources my library offers, but first I'll need to learn from you where to find these within Overdrive.

Thanks in advance, Keith

Subject: Re: Lynda.com accessibility

This is free access. Not a free trial. With a library card (in my case Los Angeles public library) one can create an account with Lynda through the library and not have to pay. Similar to the New York Times and WSJ. Other libraries offer different resources, but the LA public library among other services, offers these.

No unsubstantial as it’s a paid service.
Anyway, Just thought I’d ask if anyone’s used Lynda.com and can
comment on the service or site’s accessibility with screen readers
(in my case JFW 18)? I know that most likely, a lot of courses will
be visual in nature, but that aside, is it usable?
