moderated Edge question

Madison Martin
Hi all,
Using Jaws 2018, the latest Edge and Windows 10 can someone please tell me how to get to the address bar so that I can select and copy it so that I can send it to someone? I know how to do it with Internet Explorer, but I know that I can't rely on IE forever. Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks Madison

To my knowledge, ALT+D works in all modern web browsers to throw focus to the address bar and cause the address to be selected when focus lands there.
I've just tested that in Firefox, Edge, Chrome, and Brave and it works in all of them. If anyone knows of an exception, that would be interesting to know. And this is not a screen reader command, but a part of Windows or the browsers' interfaces, I'm not absolutely sure which. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

If Madison was referring to the truly latest Edge, that's the Chromium-based Edge. ALT+D reliably throws focus to, and selects the contents of, the address bar in virtually every modern browser. You can then immediately hit CTRL+C to copy said contents. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

I'm lost one I press control plus L to highlight address on Edge. Then I open my favorites folder on desktop, but then I don't know what to do with the applications key to get that address into my favorites.

If you’ve done a Control C, then you can do a control V to paste the link into your favorites.

ALT+H,W,S 2. In the Create Shortcut dialog, first window, that opens, paste the URL you copied out of the Address Bar in to the Type the location of the item edit box. Activate Next button. 3. Type the name you wish for the shortcut to be identified by in the Type a name for this shortcut edit box. Activate Finish button. There is now a shortcut in your Favorites folder for that webpage that has the name you gave it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

That certainly works but what a far cry from the ease of creating favorites in IE.Indeed, but IE's method died out, except under IE, a very, very long time ago. Much like the Outlook Express concept of identities (I think that's what they called it) died, too. Each and every one of us has suffered through the loss of certain features we've loved as time marches on. Learning to let go tends to make one far less stressed. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

I've generally recommended keeping Bookmarks/favorites manager open at all times as one of your tabs if you use these frequently. Creating favorites in a folder is now a workaround for a built-in function of the browser. I don't use bookmarks/favorites very frequently anymore due to browser history. After I type a couple of characters of a given website the full URL generally shows up in the dropdown list below. Now, mind you, I can see this and directly point and click, but down-arrowing is also possible, with enter to activate once you land on it. And the sites you use most frequently tend to be at the very top of those history lists. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Brian, I am old, blind, and not terribly tech savvy. You are
sighted, much younger and much more tech intuitive than me.
Change doesn't come easy, so please stop being so glib about a
state you may not really understand.

Maria,
Please give up this kind of insulting rhetoric. It's entirely uncalled for. I really don't care how old, or blind, or not tech savvy you are. That makes not the slightest bit of difference that you, like all of us, have to go with the flow of the technology stream as it goes along. You don't get to stop the world, nor do I, nor does anyone else. Given my track record here, and on a number of blindness related forums, your statements go beyond just insulting into outrageous. I suggest you think, and a lot more deeply and carefully, before tossing out your baseless frustration at me as though that's justified. It's not, period. So stop. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Why did you have to point out that he can see? I do not think of people being blind or sighted! I do not like it when blind people do this all of the time. I do not even think about my blindness most of the time, and I don’t think of people being blind or sighted. I don’t like labels. people need to stop doing this!

Well, It makes a huge difference in how they use a PC and what kind of experience they have when dealing with changes in how a PC is laid out. Ignoring the difference between the way we have to deal with PC compared to a sighted person is naive and and smacks of political correctness.

I find it disappointing that when Brian has merely stated a reality, that
all of us have to deal with change in tech, that others respond with
mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs. Brian frequently responds to
listers’ problems with thoughtful, helpful responses, and I appreciate his
generous contributions.
