if you're asking about the Remote Desktop built in to Windows, that's a different beast as opposed to JAWS Tandem. sorry I don't know but I assume that it would be a different keystroke.

Ok, Thank yu for that but I need the Remote desktop control.
Is it different.
I need to get the laptop to remote into the desktop at work. Both on different internet connections  so I can access the programs that run on my work desktop from home.

for the regular Tandem, it is insert+alt+tab key which:
Toggles between the JAWS Tandem Controller window and the controller’s
local computer.
Available only on the controler system, this keystroke suspends or
resumes a JAWS Tandem session in order to toggle between the target
system’s desktop and the controller system’s desktop.

There is a keyboard shortcut to toggle back and forth with Jaws Tandem as

Hi there. If I could drop in on this thread. Remote JAWS is different than using JAWS Tandem. First of all, you must purchase the remote license add-on from Freedom Scientific, which is a one time fee of $200.00. This allows JAWS to interact with the work desktop through what is called Remote Access. 
Set up of this connection largely depends on how your work has this configured. Are you planning to work through RDP or do they use Citrix or something like that? That information would be good to know. I have seen JAWS work both ways, and it has been successful in both instances.
Good luck with this.

Re: does jfw work very well with firefox?

JM Casey

#75979

You need at least JAWS 2018 to use Firefox, now, since the advent of Firefox Quantum (version 57 and up). Some people may tell you to use Firefox 52 ESR, but that version is no longer the ESR and is no longer supported with security patches or anything, really. You should really keep your browsers updated moreso than other programmes, since they are always accessing things on the internet, running code etc.

Re: Can you import easily favorits list from internet explorer into firefox?

Brian Vogel

#75977

Every modern browser includes a feature, at setup, to import bookmarks/favorites from another browser. Firefox certainly does.

I haven't used a manual export from the old browser and import to the new in a very long time except when someone has been using different browsers for different sets of sites. Even then, it was only on the browser(s) not chosen for automatic import of bookmarks where this is necessary.

Re: Need step by instructions for setting up and useing remote jaws for work.

Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES)

#75972

Very quickly:

Install JAWS on both machines, preferably the same version and build.
By default, the remote access client and server should be enabled but the new version will warn you and give you the option to turn it on if required.
Load up on one machine with JAWS running.
Open the remote desktop connection utility in Windows Accessories.
You will need the computer name of the other machine that you wish to connect to here.
Enter the computer name and open the options, you will need the username and password of another account on the machine that you aare trying to connect to, assuming that it is on the same network and domain etc.
If it is not, you will need to look further in to IP addresses to connect and possibly, port forwarding on the router.

I use filters a lot.

Go to a cell in your header row, then hit the Filter button on the Data ribbon to turn on filters for that entire row of headers.

When you want to filter a particular column, go do that column header and hit alt down arrow to expand the filter choices.

I’m usually filtering on txt in the cells. The easiest way I find to do this is to Shift tab back three times till I hear Select all. You’ll be passing over a cancel button and an OK button.

Then you arrow down the list of options, checking an unchecking the boxes you want to see or hide. Annoyingly I cannot find a way to page down or use first letter navigation to quickly move through a long list.

If you know you want to see most of the rows, but hide just a few, leave the Select All option at the top check and arrow down to find the few options you want to filter out.

If you want to hide a majority of rows and only see certain items, then uncheck the Select All option at the top and move down to place a check in the text items you want.

Once you have that done, you just tab once to the OK button and hit enter. .JAWS does not read this button clearly; it sounds something more like type the text you want OK.

Happy to talk more if you have specific questions as you try it.

Hi,

Has anyone managed to work out how to use filters with Microsoft excel and JAWS?

Hi,
If you have exported your settings to a jaws settings file, you can eMail
the file to your work, or bring it on a thumb drive and import it into the
other Jaws.
Unless the Jaws at work is older than the Jaws you are currently using.

I use Ctrl + Shift + L to toggle filters on and off - although JAWS doesn't report the change.

Once I've pressed Alt + DownArrow on a filter, I press E to jump to the edit box, DownArrow once to Select All, then End to go to the last item in the list, which is usually blanks?

I'm using Excel 2016 and JAWS 2020.

Thanks,

Steve

Yes. You’ll want to leave the Select All option checked and arrow down to the last in the list below it, which is “(blanks)” and uncheck that. Wish there was a quicker way to get to it, but arrowing down is the only way I’ve found.

Thanks so much, that is fantastic!

What I have is a colum going down, I just want to filter that colum so the blank cells are filtered out and the column only lists the cells where the entry is not blank e.g. contains a number.

I Think that it is the alt+down arrow that I could have been missing.
