moderated Question about how too clear out the catch using the google chrome browser?

Albert Cutolo
 

Good evening everyone, 

 

I’m writing the following message, too ask if anyone has noticed that it seems that the google chrome browser has made a change as too how too clear out the catch and other options that you might want too clear out as well.  Is there a different way that I can be able too access those options using other keystrokes or commands?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi, since this is OT, please respond just to me instead of the list if you can.
I have a Kyrosera flip phone, and I want to get a new flip phone.
I'm using Verizon, but I may switch if Verizon does not have a good phone.
The voice on mine sucks and it makes it hard to use.
Thanks for any recommendations.

My strategy is to activate the context menu on the link with shift+f10 and then arrow down to open link. Then, I press Enter. This works every time.



Kind regards,

Subject: question about activating links in a Word document

Hi all,
Not sure if this would be a Jaws or Word question so that's why I'm posting
this on hear.
When I have a Word document with links in it whether that be email addresses
or web addresses is there any way to have them open when I enter on them?
Right now when I try and do this the only thing that happens is that a blank
line gets placed in the document. If there isn't then that's fine I'm simply
curious that's all. Using latest versions of Jaws, Office 365 and Windows
10. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated as always!! Thanks Madison

That isn't jaws problem to fix.  Alt does not bring up the menu in itunes.  If you want the menu, hold alt and press one of the first letter options like f.  You can then arrow down through the file menu, or arrow over to whatever menu you want.

I have received an update notice that Windows 11 is available for my computer, however, I was informed, that the download could not go ahead because, I do not have the necessary function turned on in the BIOS. As I have said previously, I am going to wait for at least 6 months to a year, before I upgrade. And, when I do upgrade, I will probably perform a new install of Windows 11.

He seems to think the world will end if he can't run Windows 11. You are of course entirely correct, installing Windows 11 by some sort of hack is probably the worst thing you can do and there is absolutely no reason for it. I still hear of things like File Explorer being fairly sluggish with all screenreaders in Windows 11 and while I am also curious about Windows 11, I am in no particular hurry and have a feeling that once I do maybe install it on the one computer I currently own which says it can run it I will be underwhelmed and find that on a day-to-day bases it will make little difference.

Why would you want to install an unsupported operating system?  My understanding is that if you do, you may not get security updates.  I'd install the latest version of windows 10 and be content, even if you really want 11, you probably don't want it for the first six months, unless you like  using your computer for a door stop instead of a computer.  Leave the first little while to those with spare computers.

Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
 

I just tried this with the renewal form and found it extremely accessible using Adobe DC and the Jaws 2022 Beta.
Did you make sure you downloaded the correct form? You should have this one if this is your first passport application:

PPTC 153, Adult General Passport Application

Also, make sure you save it to your computer and then open it, when you click on it on the Canada.ca website it most likely opens in Edge or whichever browser you are using and here you can't fill it out, you have to first save it.
As you fill it out there is a save button after you complete each page which you should click to proceed to the next page, in fact, you may have to click it, I just did because after the final field on a page this is where I landed so I clicked it and after that I ended up on the next page.

Best regards,
Sieghard

Hi Madison

Using your links list (JAWS key + F7) is a really easy way to do this. It will automatically select the nearest link in the document when the list opens. Otherwise, you can simulate a left mouse click when the text cursor is within the link by pressing slash on the number pad, or Caps Lock + 8 on the number row in laptop keyboard mode.

All the best.

Hi, Madison. I seem to be having trouble sending to groups.io from this address this morning, so I had to send this twice. That's because, usually, when you open a Word document, you are in edit mode. This means that, when you press ENTER, SPACE, or other keys, you are inserting something into the document. Try pressing JAWS key plus Z first, to turn on navigation keys, and take you out of edit mode.

First, you might have to set the VLC Media player as your default media player if you need help, just go to the Start button, press enter, type default, press enter, tab until you come to the choices for audio media files and select VLC Media Player.

 

For the person who was having trouble checking for update of the VLC Media Player, sometimes it takes a while for it to check. If it finds an update it will begin downloading. You can also do a version comparison by checking the www.ninite.com website for the latest version posted there.

How many files did you try?

It’s worth noting that what you’re doing is not actually opening a file on your computer, but a little text file  that points to a url where the data is streaming from.

So, it could be that the stream itself isn’t working at the moment. It happens.
