Computer Glenn:
When you access a menu and you press NUM PAD 5,
JAWS normally announces the short cut letter key for an item within a given
menu. Curious as to why JAWS does not announce the short cut letter key for any
item in the Context menu, when you press WINDOWS KEY+X.

Ditto for me.
The other advantage pressing WINDOWS KEY+X, is
that you can perform the command anywhere within Windows. Once you press WINDOWS
KEY+X, to open a Context menu, tap UP ARROW key twice, to highlight the "Shut
Down or Sign Out submenu".
Tap the RIGHT ARROW key once, to open the submenu,
then you can use the following short cut letter keys:
I, for Sign Out;
S, for Sleep;
U, for Shut Down;
R, for Restart.
there appears not to be any short cut letter keys
for any of the items in the Context menu, at least JAWS does not announce any
when you press NUM PAD 5 on each item. JAWS says Blank, except for "Shut Down or
Sign Out submenu", for this item, JAWS is silent. If there are highlighted short
cut letter keys for each item in this Context Menu, Brian or, someone with sight
on this list, can let us know what they are.

Hitting Windows key then Left arrow gets me nothing. Hitting Windows key and Left Arrow at the same time gets me a list of open files. I am using Windows 10. Is this a Windows 11 key stroke?

I think the absolutely fastest way to Rome is to make a shortcut, then assign it a hot key. But then you run the risk of creating a hot key conflict without realizing it.

What I wondered is if there is a quicker way to immediately throw focus directly to the Power button in the Start menu. I don't know of any other than what I gave, and that is, by anyone's estimation, not fast at all compared to the options you've mentioned. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

Maybe it's my older windows 10, but I can do windows X and up arrow twice to shut down.- That still applies, and was mentioned by Kevin Minor back in message #99747. I elaborated that if you hit Win Key + X, followed by U, you are immediately placed in the actual shutdown menu and can up/down arrow to the option you prefer. You can, of course, up arrow twice after WinKey + X and then move over into the submenu. It's one of those "whatever floats your boat" things. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

Not sure if this has been covered, but I have a shortcut named Boot System that restarts the system.

I use this for the command line in the shortcut: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 00 Don't remember what the command line arguments mean, but it restarts my system. Thanks, Dennis T. Brown -----Original Message-----

Ditto to your last comment, Glenn.
I'm never on the desktop unless I specificly move to it. Probably has something to do with how we use our PCs as Gene has no issues with this. but, it's easy enough to get to the desktop so this is not a practical thing to worry about. |
