Hello; I forgot to mention, if you tell us which model of computer your
talking about, obviously it's a laptop,
there is a function key keystroke to turn on and off certain behaviors.
example, mousepad,
volume up and down, etc.


The impossible is the untried, Never under estimate the power of a
dream.

Yes, I have already tested this one and it works as expected. I just
wanted Insert+F4 command to somehow work, but no success so far.

Hi all,

I hope this Email finds you all in good spirit.

My friend has recently purchased a laptop equipped with Windows10.
Since he is not that tech savvy, he wanted me to install his prefered
apps
and do all the necessary settings according to his liking. I installed
JAWS
and NVDA successfully; however, I was unable to perform the Insert+F4
command to quit JAWS by any means, even when setting keyboard layout to
laptop. As I hit Caps lock+F4, JAWS speaks "Windows+P" and opens a
projection listbox with 4 options like, "Computer only," "Extend" etc. I
tried the same via an external USB keyboard, but to no avail. Besides,
Application key for bringing up a context menu is non-functional, I can
easily launch the same with
Shift+F10 though. Now, it really makes me wonder why such a strange is
happening. Your tips and tricks will be highly appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Huge thanks for the reply, that’s actually really helpful to have an understanding of why it’s not working, I can now go back to the author of the site and see if he is able to make the appropriate  changes.

Thanks again for the help

Paul

I finally took a look at the html on the site. One of the things a developer should do is test their web site on more than one browser. Plus they should have individuals with different disabilities test the site. They probably didn’t think of how a screen reader picks up on text or graphics. The site is using what I think is an attribute I never saw before. I think the internet explorer recognize it and the other browsers do not. I would suggest to them to use the alt attribute. The code uses the alt attribute in other locations. Yet it sets the alt attribute associated value to blank. A screen reader needs the alt attribute to have text.

For example:

Alt=”Facebook”

I hop;e this helps.

Kevin

I have been creating web sites for a html/css class I’m taking. I could take a look at the actual code and maybe find out what is going on behind the sceens. Do you have the site you are looking at promoted so I can use a url to look at it?

Hi Paul,

 

Sometimes I find in Chrome, it will say the word Link, then underneath will be the name of the link when you down arrow.  Is it doing that?  Like this:-

 

Link

Favourites

Link

Whatever

 

On separate lines in the browse buffer.

 

You see this too on the Wordpress Dashboard, if you go into any option like Updates, then look for the dashboard link, it is not spoken.

 

I believe this to be a Chrome problem.

Yes, enter may give you these two options, but selecting the “left double click” option let’s you easily choose a Wi-Fi network if you are at a hotel or somewhere else without ever having to open Network Settings.

Hi,

Again, working for me.  I went to the JFW system tray list with JAWS Key and F11, then selected my network, pressed enter, and got Troubleshooting, or Open Network Sharing etc.  Everything speaks fine.

All the best

Steve

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by “Network area”? I just went to Settings > Network and Internet” and Jaws reads many things when tabbing through these different categories although I am using Jaws 2019.

Yes, a good example of where one needs to launch Narrator since Jaws through 2019 seem to be mostly useless in there.

Since he is not that tech savvy, he wanted me to install his prefered
apps and do all the necessary settings according to his liking. I
installed JAWS and NVDA successfully; however, I was unable to perform
the Insert+F4 command to quit JAWS by any means, even when setting
keyboard layout to laptop. As I hit Caps lock+F4, JAWS speaks
"Windows+P" and opens a projection listbox with 4 options like,
"Computer only," "Extend" etc. I tried the same via an external USB
keyboard, but to no avail. Besides, Application key for bringing up a
context menu is non-functional, I can easily launch the same with
Shift+F10 though. Now, it really makes me wonder why such a strange is
happening. Your tips and tricks will be highly appreciated.

I don’t see much point in using a third party program, I can zip a file or a folder simply by right clicking on it, arrow to “Send To”, expand with right arrow and select “Compressed (zipped)”

You can try Seven Zip instead. Enable context menus and you can right click the folder and zip it. Or highlight all the files and right click them also..

I tried to use winzip to zip some files. I use to be able to use winzip with windows 7 and for some reason it is no longer working. I’m using Windows 10 and Jaws 2018. Is there something I need to setup on Jaws or is there another zip program that works with Jaws?  Thanks, Kevin

 

 

Hi Surendra,

When you alt tab to the JAWS screen/application, try alt F4 and see if
you get the shut down command.

Hi all,

I hope this Email finds you all in good spirit.

My friend has recently purchased a laptop equipped with Windows10.
