Just hit windows + . to open emoji panel then arrow to your selection and hit enter, then esc to exit emoji panel

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to insert emogees into email messages using Jaws? I know

Jaws reads them and so if possible I'd love to know how to put them into email

messages as writing the word smile or whatever feels weird. If sighted people

can put them in then there should be a way for blind people to do it too. Using

latest versions of Jaws, Office 365 and Windows 10. Hope someone can help,

Madison

Isn’t that the answer to the original question,

It isn't.

Here is the original post, verbatim:
Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10 and Jaws2021. I use to press control shift N to create a folder on my laptop. For some reason today I cannot. Has the method to create a folder in windows10 changed? Thanks, Kevin
 
I see nothing that even implies this is an Outlook question, and have not understood how Outlook got into the mix.  It seems to be a direct statement that the longstanding File Explorer keyboard shortcut for creating a folder, CTRL + SHIFT + N, has ceased working and asking whether it may have changed.

It hasn't changed.

For fun, I just tried hitting control-shift-n when I was in Outlook, and it does create a new note when in Outlook, but not if I take my focus out of Outlook.

In MS Word, control-shift-n did nothing.

In file explorer control-shift-n open crate new folder as expected.

Hi, Don. While attempting to create the folders with CONTROL, SHIFT, N, do you have an Office application open, and if so, does CONTROL, SHIFT, N work differently when the Office application is closed?

I do not.

Check to see if you have a desktop shortcut for Note and it has CTRL + SHIFT + N defined as its shortcut.

If you do, Windows itself will always process CTRL + SHIFT + N first, fire up Note, and then focus returns to File Explorer.  This, of course, happens very quickly.

But if you have assigned that key sequence to a desktop shortcut, or somehow otherwise defined it so that Windows has it in its "list of shortcuts I process," it's always going to do whatever it is it's assigned to by Windows.  Windows has first dibs on any keyboard shortcut, your screen reader second, and your application program (and File Explorer is an application) third.

Hi, James. Have you tried uninstalling Chrome completely, then reinstalling it? What I mean by completely uninstalling Chrome is this:

When you uninstall Chrome through either Control Panel>Programs and
Features, or via Settings>Apps and Features, Windows leaves behind
some folders and files that belong to Google Chrome. If you type into the "Run" dialog the following command, %userprofile%\AppData\local and remove the "Google" folder, without the quotes, you can get a completely clean reinstall of Chrome. Perhaps this could solve your Google Chrome intermittent crashing problem.

Hi Steve,

I only like it more because of Chrome's odd love of crashing on this
computer which I can't explain. It's a very modern i7 system with
windows 10 and jaws 2021, but sometimes chrome will just exit without
warning.

I would have to say google chrome, although it's a bit buggy on some
computers. IE is still the best accessibility-wise but Microsoft has
decided nobody is allowed to use it from next year.

hi,
Thanks to those who answered my earlier question about windows 10
versus Windows 11. I will be sticking with windows 10, thanks to
your unanimous opinions!
when I last used a PC, I was using Internet explorer. That is no
longer an option. I am curious as to which Web browsers people
recommend for best use with Jaws.
Thanks in advance for any insights. Keith

Don,Then, in the start menu, whether you get to
it via searching for it or whether there is a
permanent shortcut in the start menu itself,
look at the properties for Note.Somehow,
somewhere, something has assigned CTRL + SHIFT +
N to make Windows invoke that program. It is
possible, but highly improbable, that this could
be the result of a corruption in Windows itself,
and they do happen on occasion.But Windows is
never going to fire up a program when a keyboard
shortcut is issued unless that shortcut exists
in Windows own list of shortcuts I handle. The
most common way of adding to that list is either
during the installation of a program or by
creating a desktop shortcut and then assigning a
keyboard shortcut to that desktop shortcut.--
