Moderated Tab browsing problem


Tony
 

I've had this problem for years.

Sometimes tapping the keys several times help, sometimes restarting Jaws and some times restarting Windows.

I've recently noticed that replacing the batteries in my keyboards also help at times.

Hey.
It sounds as if your alt key may be stuck. You might have activated sticky keys by mistake, or could even be something amiss with the keyboard itself. Does it persist when you reboot?

Hi all, Jaws 2022, W10.

It seems that the tab key and shift tab key are not working .

example, while in Thunderbird, if I tab it takes me to a window with google search, and something named "clear" in it. None of this was there last week. I think I heard something about tab browsing or something like that.

Anybody have have this issue, or is my lack of gremlins just catching up to me. Honest Santa, I have been a good boy!/

Thanks for any input. Yes did restart computer to try and clear up but no help, aalso, on my desktop there was an icon named "clear"

Any more thoughts???

Thanks
