Hi, Madison. Check out the following.
YouTube Shortcuts
Pause and Resume Video
Let's start with the most common and useful YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You
can press the Spacebar while watching a video to pause it. You can also
press the Spacebar to resume a paused video. What many people don't know,
however, is that you can get the same results using the K key.
Skip Forward or Backward
Another set of well known YouTube keyboard shortcut keys are the forward
arrow and backward arrow keys. The video skips 5 seconds ahead or behind
depending on the arrow key. And once again, here's something not many people
know.
You can also forward or rewind a YouTube video in 10 second increments by
pressing the J and L keys.
Skip to a Different Point or Repeat
That's not all that YouTube offers in the way of keyboard navigation. You
can actually jump to a specific part of the video. A YouTube video, no
matter how long, is divided into ten parts. From the number row on your
keyboard, you can press any key from 0 to 9 to jump to the specific parts.
For instance, pressing 0 will bring you to the start of the video, i.e.
repeat the video.
Pressing 5 will bring you to the exact middle of the video.
Press 9 and you will jump to the last 10th of the video.
Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube Video
YouTube has a lot of videos of just people talking. Sometimes they talk
really fast while sometimes they talk really slow. Luckily, you can speed up
or slow down YouTube videos rather easily. This functionality isn't made
obvious. But you can get to these controls by clicking on the gear icon and
selecting Playback speed. That requires at least 3 clicks. A much easier way
to speed up or slow down YouTube videos is to use YouTube keyboard shortcut
keys.
How to Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube video
YouTube offers 8 playback speed options: 0.25x, 0.50x, 0.75x, Normal, 1.25x,
1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x. You can switch between these using the following shortcut
keys.
Shift + . or >
Shift + , or <
Navigate YouTube Video Frame by Frame
If you thought the ability to speed up or slow down a YouTube video was
impressive, prepare to be surprised. YouTube also lets you go through a
video frame by frame.
First, you have to pause the video, which you can do using Spacebar or K.
Next, press the . (Period) to go forward a frame or press the , (comma) to
go back a frame.
You can also hold down either of these keys to watch the video is super slow
motion in either direction.
Raise or Lower Volume
Most keyboards have some media controls keys to control things such as
volume. These are almost always smaller than the other keys and fixated on
the top row where you have to look down and find them.
Luckily, the online YouTube video player has its own volume control with
YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can control it using the up arrow key to
raise the volume or down arrow key to lower the volume.
Mute YouTube Video
This is another useful YouTube keyboard shortcut but not many know about it.
You can actually mute or unmute a YouTube video by pressing the M key.
Play the Next Video or Previous Video
YouTube always has a list of suggestions whether Autoplay is on or not. If
the video you're currently watching fails to hold your attention, you can
completely skip it and move to the next one on the list. To do this you just
have to use the Shift + N YouTube keyboard shortcut keys. This also works if
you're watching a playlist. In a playlist, you can even go back to the
previous video by pressing Shift + P.
Select Search Box
While watching a video on YouTube you can simply press "/" and start typing
your search query. Pressing the "/" key brings the search bar into focus.
You can also select search suggestions using the arrow keys and hit Enter to
run the selected search. This is mighty convenient because you never have to
use your mouse or slide on the trackpad to click on the search bar.
Switch to Fullscreen
While playing a YouTube video you can simply press the F key to switch to
full screen. If the video is already in full screen, pressing F will switch
it back to the normal view.
You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen
modes in Windows PCs.
Enable or Disable Closed Captions
Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people with a
hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when you're in an
environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're also helpful if
you're watching something in a language you don't fully understand, or maybe
you don't get the accent.
You can turn on or turn off closed captions with YouTube keyboard shortcuts
by simply pressing "C" on the keyboard.
Open YouTube Mini-Player in the Bottom Right
YouTube mini-player keyboard shortcuts
Another cool feature not many people know about on YouTube is the YouTube
mini-player. Yes, you can actually continue to browse YouTube while your
video plays without having to open another tab or anything. Press I while
the video is playing to move the video into the bottom right corner.
So, there they are, some of the most useful YouTube keyboard shortcut keys
that we found. Whether you are a power user, a nerd, or a regular Joe who is
used to clicking things, these YouTube shortcut keys above should prove very
useful.

Hi all,
I was just wondering, are there any keystrokes for using Youtube (watching
videos) with Jaws? Using latest versions of Edge, Jaws and Windows 11.

Turn off the virtual cursor, and press J to rewind, K to pause or play, and L to fast forward! That helps a lot right there!

Thanks for posting all this. One other point that should mention that for
these KB commands to work is that we, JAWS users, have to press insert+t
to get out of the virtual mode.
This, by far, is the most complete list I've seen on this topic and
includes something I have been curious to play with, that "c" command for
bringing up the caption mode.
What I am hoping to discover is whether this will allow for clipping of
text from a video for quick easy review and searching later offline and
for saving of the info in a text searchable form.
And, oh yes, Madison, thanks for raising the question which prompted
Bill's thorough list.

Hi, Mike. I believe you mean INSERT plus Z, to turn off the virtual cursor.
INSERT plus T would only announce the Title Bar.

Hi,
I've never been clear on what exactly the difference between the Virtual
cursor vursus the PC cursors are. Can anyone offer an explanation or
description of the differences between them?
Thanks.

Hi, Marty. I never turn off my virtual cursor when using these keystrokes. Instead, I find the seek slider on the YouTube video page, and press Space. Once in the Seek Slider, all the keystrokes work without having to turn off the virtual cursor. If you want to find the seek slider, start a video playing, and use CONTROL plus F to do a search for the word seek, then press space, once JAWS finds the word Seek. You won't need to turn off the Virtual Cursor, but you will probably want to mute JAWS, because with the virtual cursor on, JAWS repeats everything in the Seek Slider.

it back to the normal view.
You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen
modes in Windows PCs.
Enable or Disable Closed Captions
Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people with a
hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when you're in an
environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're also helpful if
you're watching something in a language you don't fully understand, or maybe
you don't get the accent.
You can turn on or turn off closed captions with YouTube keyboard shortcuts
by simply pressing "C" on the keyboard.
Open YouTube Mini-Player in the Bottom Right
YouTube mini-player keyboard shortcuts
Another cool feature not many people know about on YouTube is the YouTube
mini-player. Yes, you can actually continue to browse YouTube while your
video plays without having to open another tab or anything. Press I while
the video is playing to move the video into the bottom right corner.
So, there they are, some of the most useful YouTube keyboard shortcut keys
that we found. Whether you are a power user, a nerd, or a regular Joe who is
used to clicking things, these YouTube shortcut keys above should prove very
useful.

Hi all,
I was just wondering, are there any keystrokes for using Youtube (watching
videos) with Jaws? Using latest versions of Edge, Jaws and Windows 11.

That's a cool trick. The only problem I can see is that you'll have to find the seek slider every time. It seems like it'd be much easier to just turn the virtual cursor off, then the keystrokes work no matter where your position is in the window.

Hi, Marty. I never turn off my virtual cursor when using these keystrokes. Instead, I find the seek slider on the YouTube video page, and press Space. Once in the Seek Slider, all the keystrokes work without having to turn off the virtual cursor. If you want to find the seek slider, start a video playing, and use CONTROL plus F to do a search for the word seek, then press space, once JAWS finds the word Seek. You won't need to turn off the Virtual Cursor, but you will probably want to mute JAWS, because with the virtual cursor on, JAWS repeats everything in the Seek Slider.

These are great, but if you are using JAWS, you must first turn of the JAWS Virtual Cursor by hitting JAWS Key and Z to get them to work.

Hi, Madison. Check out the following.--
YouTube Shortcuts
Pause and Resume Video
Let's start with the most common and useful YouTube keyboard
shortcuts. You can press the Spacebar while watching a video to pause
it. You can also press the Spacebar to resume a paused video. What
many people don't know, however, is that you can get the same results using the K key.
Skip Forward or Backward
Another set of well known YouTube keyboard shortcut keys are the
forward arrow and backward arrow keys. The video skips 5 seconds ahead
or behind depending on the arrow key. And once again, here's something
not many people know.
You can also forward or rewind a YouTube video in 10 second increments
by pressing the J and L keys.
Skip to a Different Point or Repeat
That's not all that YouTube offers in the way of keyboard navigation.
You can actually jump to a specific part of the video. A YouTube
video, no matter how long, is divided into ten parts. From the number
row on your keyboard, you can press any key from 0 to 9 to jump to the specific parts.
For instance, pressing 0 will bring you to the start of the video, i.e.
repeat the video.
Pressing 5 will bring you to the exact middle of the video.
Press 9 and you will jump to the last 10th of the video.
Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube Video
YouTube has a lot of videos of just people talking. Sometimes they
talk really fast while sometimes they talk really slow. Luckily, you
can speed up or slow down YouTube videos rather easily. This
functionality isn't made obvious. But you can get to these controls by
clicking on the gear icon and selecting Playback speed. That requires
at least 3 clicks. A much easier way to speed up or slow down YouTube
videos is to use YouTube keyboard shortcut keys.
How to Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube video
YouTube offers 8 playback speed options: 0.25x, 0.50x, 0.75x, Normal,
1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x. You can switch between these using the
following shortcut keys.
Shift + . or >
Shift + , or <
Navigate YouTube Video Frame by Frame
If you thought the ability to speed up or slow down a YouTube video
was impressive, prepare to be surprised. YouTube also lets you go
through a video frame by frame.
First, you have to pause the video, which you can do using Spacebar or K.
Next, press the . (Period) to go forward a frame or press the ,
(comma) to go back a frame.
You can also hold down either of these keys to watch the video is
super slow motion in either direction.
Raise or Lower Volume
Most keyboards have some media controls keys to control things such as
volume. These are almost always smaller than the other keys and
fixated on the top row where you have to look down and find them.
Luckily, the online YouTube video player has its own volume control
with YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can control it using the up arrow
key to raise the volume or down arrow key to lower the volume.
Mute YouTube Video
This is another useful YouTube keyboard shortcut but not many know about it.
You can actually mute or unmute a YouTube video by pressing the M key.
Play the Next Video or Previous Video
YouTube always has a list of suggestions whether Autoplay is on or
not. If the video you're currently watching fails to hold your
attention, you can completely skip it and move to the next one on the
list. To do this you just have to use the Shift + N YouTube keyboard
shortcut keys. This also works if you're watching a playlist. In a
playlist, you can even go back to the previous video by pressing Shift + P.
Select Search Box
While watching a video on YouTube you can simply press "/" and start
typing your search query. Pressing the "/" key brings the search bar into focus.
You can also select search suggestions using the arrow keys and hit
Enter to run the selected search. This is mighty convenient because
you never have to use your mouse or slide on the trackpad to click on the search bar.
Switch to Fullscreen
While playing a YouTube video you can simply press the F key to switch
to full screen. If the video is already in full screen, pressing F
will switch it back to the normal view.
You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between
Fullscreen modes in Windows PCs.
Enable or Disable Closed Captions
Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people
with a hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when
you're in an environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're

Hello.
You can find this stuff explained in the JAWS manual, but perhaps it helps
to get a more hands-on sort of perspective.
The pC cursor is the actual system focus. When you move it around, you are
moving the actual system cursor (nB, n ot the mouse pointer). When you are
moving around in a word document and want to make an edit, you are using the
pC cursor. When you are tabbing around a programme interface or making
selections in a standard dialogue box, you are moving the pC cursor and it
is directly interacting with the controls.
The virtual cursor is just that -- it is normally not visible on screen, and
it is exclusively useful in situations where the screen-reader creates a
buffer that you can move around in using this cursor *without* directly
interacting with anything unless you directly click on a link or button. You
can't edit text in virtual mode; the so-called "forms mode" in jaws is
really just turning off the virtual cursor and placing your PC cursor in an
edit field where you can type. Most often you will see the virtual cursor
using a web browser or PDF document, where it is active by default. However
you can turn it on in other programmes as well, or put the contents of a
window into a virtual buffer, where you can easily read the text therein and
copy it to the clipboard if you need to. Using the pC cursor, you can only
copy text if it's specifically in an edit field.
Hopefully that all didn't just muddy the waters even further.

Thanks for posting all this. One other point that should mention that for
these KB commands to work is that we, JAWS users, have to press insert+t to
get out of the virtual mode.
This, by far, is the most complete list I've seen on this topic and includes
something I have been curious to play with, that "c" command for bringing up
the caption mode.
What I am hoping to discover is whether this will allow for clipping of text
from a video for quick easy review and searching later offline and for
saving of the info in a text searchable form.
And, oh yes, Madison, thanks for raising the question which prompted Bill's
thorough list.

Hi JM,
Thank you. That was actually very good. I suppose I've had it mixed up
because I've always thought that it was the purpose of the Jaws cursor to
act/do what you describe the virtual cursor doing.

Hey Eileen.
I think that's understandable. The jAWS cursor can go places the pC cursor
won't go because it's normally n ot restricted to places where you can enter
text or activatea button. But it isn't very useful in many applications. An
interesting thign about the JAWS cursor though is that it is equivalent to
the mouse pointer. The mouse pointer can also go places in the window the PC
cursor can't reach. That's why when you have the JAWS cursor in certain
places in a window you can click the mouseo r use the corresponding nupad
buttons to activate the mouse.

Bill
Thanks for posting all this. One other point that should mention that for
these KB commands to work is that we, JAWS users, have to press insert+t to
get out of the virtual mode.
This, by far, is the most complete list I've seen on this topic and includes
something I have been curious to play with, that "c" command for bringing up
the caption mode.
What I am hoping to discover is whether this will allow for clipping of text
from a video for quick easy review and searching later offline and for
saving of the info in a text searchable form.
And, oh yes, Madison, thanks for raising the question which prompted Bill's
thorough list.
Madison Martin
Thanks Bill, my only other question is how do I find the play button in the
first place? I don't know how many times I've clicked on a link for a video and
then either the play button disappears or I can't find it period.

Hi, Madison. Check out the following.
YouTube Shortcuts
Pause and Resume Video
Let's start with the most common and useful YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can
press the Spacebar while watching a video to pause it. You can also press the
Spacebar to resume a paused video. What many people don't know, however, is that
you can get the same results using the K key.
Skip Forward or Backward
Another set of well known YouTube keyboard shortcut keys are the forward arrow
and backward arrow keys. The video skips 5 seconds ahead or behind depending on
the arrow key. And once again, here's something not many people know.
You can also forward or rewind a YouTube video in 10 second increments by
pressing the J and L keys.
Skip to a Different Point or Repeat
That's not all that YouTube offers in the way of keyboard navigation. You can
actually jump to a specific part of the video. A YouTube video, no matter how
long, is divided into ten parts. From the number row on your keyboard, you can
press any key from 0 to 9 to jump to the specific parts.
For instance, pressing 0 will bring you to the start of the video, i.e.
repeat the video.
Pressing 5 will bring you to the exact middle of the video.
Press 9 and you will jump to the last 10th of the video.
Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube Video
YouTube has a lot of videos of just people talking. Sometimes they talk really
fast while sometimes they talk really slow. Luckily, you can speed up or slow
down YouTube videos rather easily. This functionality isn't made obvious. But
you can get to these controls by clicking on the gear icon and selecting
Playback speed. That requires at least 3 clicks. A much easier way to speed up
or slow down YouTube videos is to use YouTube keyboard shortcut keys.
How to Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube video
YouTube offers 8 playback speed options: 0.25x, 0.50x, 0.75x, Normal, 1.25x,
1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x. You can switch between these using the following shortcut
keys.
Shift + . or >
Shift + , or <
Navigate YouTube Video Frame by Frame
If you thought the ability to speed up or slow down a YouTube video was
impressive, prepare to be surprised. YouTube also lets you go through a video
frame by frame.
First, you have to pause the video, which you can do using Spacebar or K.
Next, press the . (Period) to go forward a frame or press the , (comma) to go
back a frame.
You can also hold down either of these keys to watch the video is super slow
motion in either direction.
Raise or Lower Volume
Most keyboards have some media controls keys to control things such as volume.
These are almost always smaller than the other keys and fixated on the top row
where you have to look down and find them.
Luckily, the online YouTube video player has its own volume control with YouTube
keyboard shortcuts. You can control it using the up arrow key to raise the
volume or down arrow key to lower the volume.
Mute YouTube Video
This is another useful YouTube keyboard shortcut but not many know about it.
You can actually mute or unmute a YouTube video by pressing the M key.
Play the Next Video or Previous Video
YouTube always has a list of suggestions whether Autoplay is on or not. If the
video you're currently watching fails to hold your attention, you can completely
skip it and move to the next one on the list. To do this you just have to use
the Shift + N YouTube keyboard shortcut keys. This also works if you're watching
a playlist. In a playlist, you can even go back to the previous video by
pressing Shift + P.
Select Search Box
While watching a video on YouTube you can simply press "/" and start typing your
search query. Pressing the "/" key brings the search bar into focus.
You can also select search suggestions using the arrow keys and hit Enter to run
the selected search. This is mighty convenient because you never have to use
your mouse or slide on the trackpad to click on the search bar.
Switch to Fullscreen
While playing a YouTube video you can simply press the F key to switch to full
screen. If the video is already in full screen, pressing F will switch it back
to the normal view.
You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen modes in
Windows PCs.
Enable or Disable Closed Captions
Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people with a
hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when you're in an
environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're also helpful if you're
watching something in a language you don't fully understand, or maybe you don't
get the accent.
You can turn on or turn off closed captions with YouTube keyboard shortcuts by
simply pressing "C" on the keyboard.
Open YouTube Mini-Player in the Bottom Right
YouTube mini-player keyboard shortcuts
Another cool feature not many people know about on YouTube is the YouTube
mini-player. Yes, you can actually continue to browse YouTube while your video
plays without having to open another tab or anything. Press I while the video is
playing to move the video into the bottom right corner.
So, there they are, some of the most useful YouTube keyboard shortcut keys that
we found. Whether you are a power user, a nerd, or a regular Joe who is used to
clicking things, these YouTube shortcut keys above should prove very useful.

Hey Madison.
If you use the keystrokes given, you don't need to find the buttons. That is
the beauty of using keystrokes instead of hunting around for things on the
screen.
You do however need to make sure your virtaul cursor is off, or, I guess,
use the trick mentioned earlier of hitting space on the seek slider area,
but that doesn't really seem to be of great advantage to me, since the point
of the keystrokes is that they're there always regardless of your position
in a window.

volume.
These are almost always smaller than the other keys and fixated on the top
row where you have to look down and find them.
Luckily, the online YouTube video player has its own volume control with
YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can control it using the up arrow key to
raise the volume or down arrow key to lower the volume.
Mute YouTube Video
This is another useful YouTube keyboard shortcut but not many know about it.
You can actually mute or unmute a YouTube video by pressing the M key.
Play the Next Video or Previous Video
YouTube always has a list of suggestions whether Autoplay is on or not. If
the video you're currently watching fails to hold your attention, you can
completely skip it and move to the next one on the list. To do this you just
have to use the Shift + N YouTube keyboard shortcut keys. This also works if
you're watching a playlist. In a playlist, you can even go back to the
previous video by pressing Shift + P.
Select Search Box
While watching a video on YouTube you can simply press "/" and start typing
your search query. Pressing the "/" key brings the search bar into focus.
You can also select search suggestions using the arrow keys and hit Enter to
run the selected search. This is mighty convenient because you never have to
use your mouse or slide on the trackpad to click on the search bar.
Switch to Fullscreen
While playing a YouTube video you can simply press the F key to switch to
full screen. If the video is already in full screen, pressing F will switch
it back to the normal view.
You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen
modes in Windows PCs.
Enable or Disable Closed Captions
Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people with a
hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when you're in an
environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're also helpful if
you're watching something in a language you don't fully understand, or maybe
you don't get the accent.
You can turn on or turn off closed captions with YouTube keyboard shortcuts
by simply pressing "C" on the keyboard.
Open YouTube Mini-Player in the Bottom Right
YouTube mini-player keyboard shortcuts
Another cool feature not many people know about on YouTube is the YouTube
mini-player. Yes, you can actually continue to browse YouTube while your
video plays without having to open another tab or anything. Press I while
the video is playing to move the video into the bottom right corner.
So, there they are, some of the most useful YouTube keyboard shortcut keys
that we found. Whether you are a power user, a nerd, or a regular Joe who is
used to clicking things, these YouTube shortcut keys above should prove very
useful.

Hi all,
I was just wondering, are there any keystrokes for using Youtube (watching

Hey Madison.
If you use the keystrokes given, you don't need to find the buttons. That is
the beauty of using keystrokes instead of hunting around for things on the
screen.
You do however need to make sure your virtaul cursor is off, or, I guess,
use the trick mentioned earlier of hitting space on the seek slider area,
but that doesn't really seem to be of great advantage to me, since the point
of the keystrokes is that they're there always regardless of your position
in a window.

Hi, Madison. Check out the following.
YouTube Shortcuts
Pause and Resume Video
Let's start with the most common and useful YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You
can press the Spacebar while watching a video to pause it. You can also
press the Spacebar to resume a paused video. What many people don't know,
however, is that you can get the same results using the K key.
Skip Forward or Backward
Another set of well known YouTube keyboard shortcut keys are the forward
arrow and backward arrow keys. The video skips 5 seconds ahead or behind
depending on the arrow key. And once again, here's something not many people
know.
You can also forward or rewind a YouTube video in 10 second increments by
pressing the J and L keys.
Skip to a Different Point or Repeat
That's not all that YouTube offers in the way of keyboard navigation. You
can actually jump to a specific part of the video. A YouTube video, no
matter how long, is divided into ten parts. From the number row on your
keyboard, you can press any key from 0 to 9 to jump to the specific parts.
For instance, pressing 0 will bring you to the start of the video, i.e.
repeat the video.
Pressing 5 will bring you to the exact middle of the video.
Press 9 and you will jump to the last 10th of the video.
Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube Video
YouTube has a lot of videos of just people talking. Sometimes they talk
really fast while sometimes they talk really slow. Luckily, you can speed up
or slow down YouTube videos rather easily. This functionality isn't made
obvious. But you can get to these controls by clicking on the gear icon and
selecting Playback speed. That requires at least 3 clicks. A much easier way
to speed up or slow down YouTube videos is to use YouTube keyboard shortcut
keys.
How to Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube video
YouTube offers 8 playback speed options: 0.25x, 0.50x, 0.75x, Normal, 1.25x,
1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x. You can switch between these using the following shortcut
keys.
Shift + . or >
Shift + , or <
Navigate YouTube Video Frame by Frame
If you thought the ability to speed up or slow down a YouTube video was
impressive, prepare to be surprised. YouTube also lets you go through a
video frame by frame.
First, you have to pause the video, which you can do using Spacebar or K.
Next, press the . (Period) to go forward a frame or press the , (comma) to
go back a frame.
You can also hold down either of these keys to watch the video is super slow
motion in either direction.
Raise or Lower Volume
Most keyboards have some media controls keys to control things such as
volume.
These are almost always smaller than the other keys and fixated on the top

Hi all,
I was just wondering, are there any keystrokes for using Youtube (watching
videos) with Jaws? Using latest versions of Edge, Jaws and Windows 11.

How do you get out of the virtual mode? It is possible I am doing it and
don't know. <smile>

Thanks for posting all this. One other point that should mention that for
these KB commands to work is that we, JAWS users, have to press insert+t to
get out of the virtual mode.
This, by far, is the most complete list I've seen on this topic and includes
something I have been curious to play with, that "c" command for bringing up
the caption mode.
What I am hoping to discover is whether this will allow for clipping of text
from a video for quick easy review and searching later offline and for
saving of the info in a text searchable form.
And, oh yes, Madison, thanks for raising the question which prompted Bill's
thorough list.

Is the Jaws cursor the same as the virtual cursor? And how do you get into
the virtual cursor?

Hello.
You can find this stuff explained in the JAWS manual, but perhaps it helps
to get a more hands-on sort of perspective.
The pC cursor is the actual system focus. When you move it around, you are
moving the actual system cursor (nB, n ot the mouse pointer). When you are
moving around in a word document and want to make an edit, you are using the
pC cursor. When you are tabbing around a programme interface or making
selections in a standard dialogue box, you are moving the pC cursor and it
is directly interacting with the controls.
The virtual cursor is just that -- it is normally not visible on screen, and
it is exclusively useful in situations where the screen-reader creates a
buffer that you can move around in using this cursor *without* directly
interacting with anything unless you directly click on a link or button. You
can't edit text in virtual mode; the so-called "forms mode" in jaws is
really just turning off the virtual cursor and placing your PC cursor in an
edit field where you can type. Most often you will see the virtual cursor
using a web browser or PDF document, where it is active by default. However
you can turn it on in other programmes as well, or put the contents of a
window into a virtual buffer, where you can easily read the text therein and
copy it to the clipboard if you need to. Using the pC cursor, you can only
copy text if it's specifically in an edit field.
Hopefully that all didn't just muddy the waters even further.

Hi,
I've never been clear on what exactly the difference between the Virtual
cursor vursus the PC cursors are. Can anyone offer an explanation or
description of the differences between them?
Thanks.
Eileen
