I use an external keyboard but it doesn’t have a numb pad but since my keyboard layout is set to desktop the insert key works. Here’s the link:

Hello madison.
I think if you want really concrete answers, you’ll have to tell us what site/page it is, so that someone can try it out. The first thing I would say is, if enter or space won’t work, try a left mouse click. Th at is, use the simulated mouse. Hopefully your keyboard is working now. If you have a numpad this would be the / 9slash) key. When that doesn’t even work, you could also try doing a real mouse click with the real mouse. Of course in both cases, you have to make sure your mouse pointer is actually in the right place. To do this, you might have to route the jaws cursor with insert-slash.

Hi all, Really hoping that someone can help me as I find this really strange. I’m trying to search on a web site but even though there’s an option to search I can’t get an edit box to come up, I’ve tried pressing enter, the spacebar, bringing up the context menu and pressing e to find edit fields on the site but can’t get the box to come up. Any ideas as to how I can get the search box to come up on the site? Using the latest versions of Edge and the Jaws beata. Thanks Madison |
