Hello:

“When trying to make a calendar appointment, JAWS keeps losing focus when I have to select date and time. I have to force it to come back to the time and date that I want it to select. Do you know why this happens? How can I fix this?”

Honestly, I just enter the date and time directly instead of trying to pull dates and times from a list. So, for a date, enter mm/dd/yy. For a time enter something like “10:00 pm”. A date of March 5, 1980, would be entered as 03/02/1980.

I find Google Calendar online to be very useful except that I often have to tab quite a bit to get to the Description field.

All the best,

Curtis Chong

When placing dates into your Google appointments, either use up and down arrows, with right or left arrows.

Otherwise, just type the numeric values into the edit fields, as Curtis indicated. Do not use  read-next-word, or previous-word, Control+RightArrow & Control+LeftArrow, when interacting with times and dates.

As to the description edit field, use the virtual cursor to locate that edit field, using JAWS, the letter E  while using the virtual cursor.

I want to make a small correction.

The title edit field is the only edit field available initially, when setting up your Google appointment.

To find the description edit field you first need to locate the description button. This area is collapsed  and needs to be expanded before trying to locate the edit field.

“To find the description edit field you first need to locate the description button. This area is collapsed  and needs to be expanded before trying to locate the edit field.”

This is not my experience using Google Calendar with Chrome. Of course, I do have to turn off the JAWS Virtual Cursor (insert z) when creating an event. With the virtual cursor off, I press C to create the appointment and then tab a bunch of times to get to the time/date fields, the location field, and the description field.

Warmly,

Curtis Chong

I see, we have slightly different ways of doing this.

According to how you create the appointment, focus lands in the title edit field.

Assuming you have typed the title  or not, use, Insert+Z, now NumPadPlus to return to virtual cursor & Shift+E.

You are now on the description edit field.

 Otherwise, you would indeed have to tab are crazy amount to get to the description edit field.

I prefer using the virtual cursor when interacting with Google calendar.
