Well, perhaps I’m wrong to do so, however, I have a wireless desktop keyboard connected to my laptop.  Thus set JAWS to desktop mode. 

Please forgive this silly question, but when referring to the insert key, do you all mean the JAWS key or the Enter Key? I’m digging through my memory and can’t remember.

Thanks.

Here’s a non-techy understanding. You’re probably familiar with the F5 refresh process. The JAWS insert-escape command refreshes a screen in the sense that JAWS catches up with what is displayed on the screen. Often when JAWS can’t find something on a webpage that you’d expect to find there, insert-escape will enable JAWS to find it. I use the command many times daily.

I was just introduced to Insert + Escape.  This does the following:

The best way to disable the touch cursor when you no longer need it is to press the PC Cursor key two times, which is the numpad plus key when using the desktop layout.

Hello Donna:

I find myself confused. Shift Enter is not the keystroke to turn on the JAWS Touch Cursor. If, however, you mean Shift plus Numpad Plus, that is the JAWS touch cursor. To turn it off, double tap the plus key on the number pad.

Best regards,

I am using JFW 2022 and windows 11.  Sometime when I put my computer on sleep mode, when I come back, I can’t get JFW to speak.  I turn on the touch cursor with shift enter.  I can find sign in with that cursor, but cannot succeed when trying to make it do anything and find it hard to get back out of the touch curson mode.  Anyone have suggestions as to how to make this work?

Thanks for any help.

Hi, Tom. You adjust your volume for System Sounds, more or less the same way you do for the System Volume. In your System tray, you will have a button for Speaker Volume. Right click that icon.

2. Arrow down to Volume Mixer, and press ENTER.

3. Now, TAB through the volume buttons until you find System Sounds Button. Press ENTER.

4. Arrow up and down to see which way the arrows are taking the System Sounds. Adjust according to the volume you desire. I always use the semicolon key while at the desktop to get the system to make the error sound.

Hello, everyone.

For reasons that I don’t quite understand, the Windows Sounds volume has become quite high on one of my Windows 10 PC’s.

I thought the problem would be corrected by reducing the system volume, but that did not help.

Can someone tell me how to specifically adjust the Windows sounds folume?

Once again, I’m using the latest build of Jaws on a Windows 10 PC here.

Thanks!

Yes.  It does get confusing.  When I saw the subject line, I thought why not just call it the jaws key.  I think with NVDA, it is referred to as the NVDA key. Shirley, we all have brain cramps or fog at times.   

Please forgive this silly question, but when referring to the insert key, do you all mean the JAWS key or the Enter Key? I’m digging through my memory and can’t remember.

Thanks.

Here’s a non-techy understanding. You’re probably familiar with the F5 refresh process. The JAWS insert-escape command refreshes a screen in the sense that JAWS catches up with what is displayed on the screen. Often when JAWS can’t find something on a webpage that you’d expect to find there, insert-escape will enable JAWS to find it. I use the command many times daily.

LOL

I always refer to the Jaws key as the insert key.

I could see where one could mix up insert with enter,

after all, when you enter, you are affectively inserting something to the computer.

But when some folks say Jaws, they mean insert, and caps lock if Jaws is in laptop layout.

Repaints all currently displayed items on the screen.

However, I don't understand the sort of scenarios where I would use this. Can someone describe them?
