Hi Mike,

 

You say you press shift-space before m. Actually, you need to press JAWS key-space. (the JAWS key is the insert key on the PC keyboard.)

Subject: illusion of a floating cursor in jaws when marking and selecting text

 

Hi guys:

 

I have a question regarding marking and selecting text.

When in notepad with jaws 2022.2206… and windows 10 21h2,

When I do a ctrl windows k to mark a spot,

Then move down some lines and do a shift space followed by m to select the block of text,

I then do a copy to clip board,

When I go to paste it in somewhere else, or,

If I do a ctrl x to cut the text,

It seems that jaws does not truly know what to copy or cut.

When I either copy, cut, or delete,

It either selects more than I wanted, or not enough.

 

This gives me the illusion that the cursor jumps around?

 

This is real annoying because I presume that when I do a ctrl windows k and then move somewhere else and do a shift space followed by m to select the block of text,

I presume that jaws will only select what I told it too, no more no less?

 

 

Please advise as you like.

 

Mike M.

Yes,  I thought that I had this fixed, but it is back again.

Hello Lenore,

I am a rookie-rookie but I do have Outlook 2021.

I think you can press Alt+H, then Shift+tab once, and you are at the search edit box. I am not sure if this is what you want or if there is a quickjer way, but I hope it helps.

Lenore here.

Hello Adrian,

I just tried the keystroke combination, and it said it was for flagging messages?

EOM

Have you tried shift-control-f?

JM,
Sorry to belabor this point, but I know of at least one website where F5 doesn't remove the new data. Don't ask me to explain how it could be. But I'd like to emphasize that the first thing to do is use the JAWS key-escape JAWS semi-refresh. Someone more techy than I can elaborate, but all this command does is arrange the data for JAWS to recognize. As far as I can tell, it doesn't alter the data in any way.

Yeah, f5 actually reloads the webpage -- jaws refresh just refreshes jaws video buffer. It might also have an effect on the screen itself, I'm not sure if it does or not.
The problem the OP had was specifically in a form field, so refreshing the webpage and killing the form data would remove the error, but then she'd have to start over again, and *still* not know what the error is.

Quite right, JM. that's why I suggest using the JAWS refresh-like command before resorting to F5. With the JAWS command, you don't lose data. At any rate, I never have.

If you hit refresh on the browser though, it will clear any form data you have entered. You might or might not get a warning about this, depending on the webpage and how it's designed.

Barbara,
When this happens to me, I use the JAWS version of screen refresh by pressing JAWS key-escape. If that doesn't work, try the Windows F5 refresh followed by the same Jaws key combo.

I don't know if this is your specific problem, but I have encountered sites where the error messages are displayed as graphics, sure they look like text to a sighted person, but to the screen reader they are graphics which it can't read without being able to run it through OCR first.

Hi Everyone,

Something has happened from time to time, and I am looking for a
better way to handle this.

I had to set up at a website my profile which included creating a
username and password. When I entered on Next, I was still on the
same screen. This told me that I had an error. I could not find the
error message and I went carefully from top to bottom. I also
reviewed the fields I had entered and did not pick up the error.
Later I had my sighted sister help and she was seeing messages in a
box. We got all resolved at this website. I asked her later what she
recalled about the error message’s appearance. All she could recall that it was in a box.
I did not hear anything like error or please correct.

Was there a better way for me to handle this on my own?

I was using Windows 10, Chrome and JAWS 2022.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Barbara
