Re: application mode
David Goldfield <david.goldfield@...>
Jessica, There is no need to apologize as this is a good question as this is something that many users will encounter with no explanation as to why it is happening. I'm going to paste a response to this question that I found from the JFW list from four years ago from Aaron Page, as I do like his explanation. I'll just add that pressing the PC cursor key twice is an easier way to exit application mode than pressing insert-z twice, which is what he learned to do at the time of his response. Here is his message.

My apologies, but what's "application mode?" I've never heard of it until now. Regards, Jessica

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

Unfortunately, there were 2 problems. the first, was the link, which took you to the shopping basket page. This link had no text lable, to tell a user of a screen reader the purpose of the link. The link is a standard HTML coded link. the second is a standard HTML button, which also does not have a text label. This button is for removing an item from the shopping basket. My question is, is there a way within JAWS, where you can attach labels to specific links and buttons on an individual web site? The link and button on this web site are not graphics Thanks in anticipation. Dave Durber

Re: undoing effect in Excel
Mario,
I have never been clear whether this does something within JAWS itself (in which case what follows will probably not apply) or if it works with the Define Names command of Excel itself. If it is working with the Define Name command, I believe you can get rid of them by selecting the row/column you originally selected, hitting CTRL+SHIFT+F3, and when the dialog comes up for Create Names from Selection then uncheck the checkbox(es) checked, and hit OK. I think that will undefine them. It's worth a try, anyway, as the CTRL+SHIFT+F3 is how you initially define them via Excel itself based on what's the selected range. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Tolerance is the positive and cordial effort to understand another's beliefs, practices, and habits without necessarily sharing or accepting them. ~ Joshua Liebman

Re: problems with mail and JAWS?

The Mail app is a royal pain with JAWS. Like others I use NVDA to read my mail and everything is happy, happy, happy. I need to put my 2 cents worth about it’s problems with Glen and company on the next FS Cast Live. Back when JFW 18 was out the Mail app worked really well.

Ashleigh, I forgot to tell you, but perhaps you already know, pressing the insert (or JAWS key) plus escape is screen update. I’m not sure if this is happening because I need to change something in settings, but I haven’t investigated further. All I know is that I can read my email messages and don’t have that other stuff—but I have to do it every time.

Yes, I have had this problem. Originally, we thought it was because my window was not maximized. But it kept happening. Here’s what I figured out: When you open the message, if it’s acting goofy, like you mentioned, press the JAWS key and Escape. I don’t know why it works, but it does. You might need to give it a couple seconds, but the message will read as it should.

Hello, Recently, I’ve been experiencing a weird problem with Windows mail and JAWS. It’s now hit or miss as to whether JAWS will read e-mails as they’re open, bring up the thing where it says “mail start groups navigation” and a whole bunch of stuff, open the message but make it appear blank, or just crash. If I’m not making se4nse here, it doesn’t make sense to me either. However, I’m just wondering if any of you have had this issue? It’s been going on for me for quite some time but can’t really pin it on when my computer was taken into the shop for servicing/updates, and that was before I started my winter semester this year. Thank you, Ashleigh Piccinino P.S. another happening with JAWS and the mail app is that I can’t reach any attachments with tabbing as JAWS just crashes. Everything’s on the latest updates, so … Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hi, James. Try this.

This will remove all groupings from the folder.
