That is exactly why I never call somebody out for their misspellings. Besides, I'm a terrible speller, the person doing the misspelling could easily be me!

Re: spelling mistakes

Let me a comment:
folks come to this list for answers to their JFW questions. And, when folks start complaining about spelling errors, a lot of people will get self-conscious and perhaps not ask their questions. As long as one knows what someone is talking about and a misspelled word doesn't mess up the understanding or convey misinfo, it's better to accept that for what it is; an honest unintentional error and nothing more. After all, we're all human and, hence, prone to missteps. And he who isn't, let him/her throw the first stone.

Re: Locking the mouse buttons:

Totally agree! After I lost my vision, I signed up for a JAWS class at the local Lighthouse for the blind, the instructor was sighted and his method of instruction was to ask, "What do you want to learn?" I never went back to that class and learned JAWS on my own, it was hard without help and took me about a year before I felt even the slightest bit comfortable with it.

Re: Locking the mouse buttons:
Emulated mouse button locking works (or is supposed to) just like using the real keys - it stays on only until the "drop" part of the command is completed or when something else is done that causes a locked mouse to release.
David Diamond is correct that the easiest thing to do is to turn on the screen shade/curtain, as even the most screen-reader educated sighted person generally does not even try to use a screen reader without vision being present. "Flying blind" is just not generally something we can do, because we just don't have to do it in day to day life in general. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

Re: Locking the mouse buttons:

why not just enable screen shade. This way they won't be able to see the screen. A lot easier than locking the mouse keys. I would think. That and you could suggest that maybe they broke your computer.

Locking the mouse buttons:
Angel
I was wondering if both mouse buttons are locked whether sighted people would not be able to use the computer. Unless they were familiar with the use of the keyboard. I would think if the mouse buttons were locked, this would make it impossible to use the mouse successfully, while Jaws was turned on. I should think this technic would be easier than turning off the mouse via the control panel.
