Re: Windows 11 Task Bar Question
Mark Arnold ABG
Ben,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had already started his tutorials and hadn’t gotten to this one yet. It definitely gave me the solution I was looking to find.
All the best to you and the list… Mark

Hey Mark
You can also hold the Windows key and use the number row to open pinned Apps on your Taskbar. For example, the second pinned App on my Taskbar is Microsoft Edge, so I can hold the Windows key and press 2 to launch Edge from anywhere.
Check out this great tutorial from Dan Clark:
Pin and Arrange Apps on the Taskbar

Thanks for the reply. It used to be so easy to simply do the Windows Key plus T and then use first letter navigation. I guess this Old Dog will need to learn a new trick!
Thank you again, Mark

Hi, I don’t think so, as this change has to do with changes to the technology used to display Taskbar and other items on screen. Without going into details, I can say that Taskbar and other items are seen as UIA controls instead of Microsoft Active Accessibility (ask me offlist for some technical details as that is beyond the scope of one screen reader). Cheers, Joseph

Hello All,
In Windows 10 I was able to use first letter navigation on the task bar to open pinned apps. This does not seem to work in Windows 11. Any way to change this?
As always, thanks in advance… Mark

Re: Windows 11 Task Bar Question
Hi, Which checkboxes? Are you talking about things like “Widgets” and ‘Chat” toggle buttons/checkboxes? If so, they are really toggle switches that gets “toggled on” when the user activates the button in question. For example, if focused on Start button, it’ll show up as “toggled on” if you press Windows key to open Start menu. I suspect this has to do with something beyond a screen reader’s control (in a way, screen readers can control how things are announced to users, but when it comes to the underlying info screen readers get, it’s really the territory of UI team at Microsoft). Cheers, Joseph

Re: Word press with jaws
Karina Castro
Hello Ralph, your acknowledgement about html and css could be very util for you sometimes, for example with editting posts and pages in Wordpress. So, Do you have installed Wordpress in your own hosting with your own domain, or, are you using wordpress.com only? Each one of them is different to proceed.

Re: Settings, voices, and speech and sound schemes for reading ePubs
Van Lant, Robin
I just noticed that there is a Kindle option in the list of default schemes. While the list doesn’t’ indicate the customizations made for that scheme, that YouTube video talked about the way you could go explore the settings. That might be a good place to start, since I’d assume it was created for people reading pleasure books in Kindle.

Caps lock key in laptop mode
Don Mauck
I’m having an problem with my capslock key not working when using the laptop keyboard layout. This is not anything special as a keyboard, it’s a Dell keyboard. This seems to happen only in JAWS2022 and has been a problem since the last product release. Has anyone seen this?

JAWS didn't speak language when interpreting on Zoom

Hi list,
I was frustrated today in my assignment as an interpreter on Zoom, because as I switched between English and Albanian using ctrl-shift-c, JAWS wouldn’t announce the languages, and I ended up interpreting on wrong channels. I would appreciate your advice.
Cheers, Gezim

Hi, I play various audio games myself and have seen the arrow key issue come up various times for Jaws users, where you can't use the arrow keys whilst Jaws is running.

If you've played either 'Manamon' or 'a hero's call' both games used the keyboard manager solution to allow jaws users to play the game whilst running jaws and give access to the arrow keys. it’s a fairly simple procedure, in the 'A Hero's call' topic page on audio games.net in post 1076 the user gives a link to a custom JKM file to get a hero's call working with jaws and instructions on how to use it. You can open the file with notepad to alter which keys are passed through if you want, the name of the file tells jaws which program to use the keyboard manager file with.
