I love learning things I didn’t know before. I tested all this, figured out how to highlight text in Word from the keyboard, and JAWS found it. NVDA indeed does not.

All you have to do is to download the JAWS executable and run it, and it will repair the product. In my case, thanks to some guidance from FS tech support, I also copied my settings folder, found when

I did have one desktop keyboard shortcut fail, had to recreate it. Don’t know if the failure corresponded to a JAWS install; I’ll pay more attention!

It works fine here. Perhaps press JAWSKey+1, then press the keystroke and see what message you get, just to verify that you're pressing the right keystroke. Otherwise, if it isn't working in the prese

Of course it is an alt=+control shortcut! Thank you for pointing this out, as I was obviously not thinking at all. Now, on to your shortcut question: this seems a bit mystifying. How was your Google C

Unless you're using Insert Key mode in settings, which you likely aren't, you hold down insert and press pgdn or pdup simultaneously.

I don’t think JAWS sees highlights. If your collaborator is willing, perhaps to place a character, such as star or left bracket that may not appear anywhere else in the text, at the beginning of the h

I wonder if using the color or attributes and color sound scheme would enable you to recognize highlights? I’ve never tried it.

I would just send the Compressed Zip Files choice in the SendTo menu from the context menu.

I’m not finding a way to disable the announcement of visited links. In your situation, I might use the list of links, with multiple first-letter navigation available to get to the link you want, or I

Kevin uses the editor Notepad Plus Plus (Notepad++.) that is not the editor that comes with Windows. I don't think Notepad has the capacity to show indentation, but somebody can correct me on that.

The Check Spelling as you Type option is very useful, allowing for buzzer alerts when words are misspelled. The thing I object to, and so it seems do others is the repetitive and unnecessary alt+F10 a

The setting you are looking for in the JAWS Setting Center is Text Block Length.

One way to achieve this is to use the Keyboard Manager, find the script called StartMenu, and assign a braille key to it. Dean

That is an extremely useful piece of information, not readily available, which might help me in these situations of no JAWS cursor. I just figured it was hopeless! Dean

That is a vast question. The more we know about what applications you use, what your aspirations are, and what your experience is, the more useful information we can give. JAWS is more often used in e

Try just hitting Enter after writing the comment. That may post it.

I googled JAWS command Line Options and didn’t get anything that seemed helpful.

Why not use the Keyboard Manager and assign a new hotkey to the ShutDownJAWS script? We go through this sort of thing in the forthcoming windows Keyboard Power User Guide book. You could add a keystro

I vote for Chrome. When the new Edge comes out, I suspect it will take over, and I’m not sure how much difference between the two a user will notice. I don’t recommend the current Edge, it’s being pha
