Hi all,
I was just wondering, are there any keystrokes for using Youtube (watching videos) with Jaws? Using latest versions of Edge, Jaws and Windows 11. Madison

Hi, Madison. Check out the following.

YouTube Shortcuts Pause and Resume Video Let's start with the most common and useful YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can press the Spacebar while watching a video to pause it. You can also press the Spacebar to resume a paused video. What many people don't know, however, is that you can get the same results using the K key. Skip Forward or Backward Another set of well known YouTube keyboard shortcut keys are the forward arrow and backward arrow keys. The video skips 5 seconds ahead or behind depending on the arrow key. And once again, here's something not many people know. You can also forward or rewind a YouTube video in 10 second increments by pressing the J and L keys. Skip to a Different Point or Repeat That's not all that YouTube offers in the way of keyboard navigation. You can actually jump to a specific part of the video. A YouTube video, no matter how long, is divided into ten parts. From the number row on your keyboard, you can press any key from 0 to 9 to jump to the specific parts. For instance, pressing 0 will bring you to the start of the video, i.e. repeat the video. Pressing 5 will bring you to the exact middle of the video. Press 9 and you will jump to the last 10th of the video. Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube Video YouTube has a lot of videos of just people talking. Sometimes they talk really fast while sometimes they talk really slow. Luckily, you can speed up or slow down YouTube videos rather easily. This functionality isn't made obvious. But you can get to these controls by clicking on the gear icon and selecting Playback speed. That requires at least 3 clicks. A much easier way to speed up or slow down YouTube videos is to use YouTube keyboard shortcut keys. How to Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube video YouTube offers 8 playback speed options: 0.25x, 0.50x, 0.75x, Normal, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x. You can switch between these using the following shortcut keys. Shift + . or > Shift + , or < Navigate YouTube Video Frame by Frame If you thought the ability to speed up or slow down a YouTube video was impressive, prepare to be surprised. YouTube also lets you go through a video frame by frame. First, you have to pause the video, which you can do using Spacebar or K. Next, press the . (Period) to go forward a frame or press the , (comma) to go back a frame. You can also hold down either of these keys to watch the video is super slow motion in either direction. Raise or Lower Volume Most keyboards have some media controls keys to control things such as volume. These are almost always smaller than the other keys and fixated on the top row where you have to look down and find them. Luckily, the online YouTube video player has its own volume control with YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can control it using the up arrow key to raise the volume or down arrow key to lower the volume. Mute YouTube Video This is another useful YouTube keyboard shortcut but not many know about it. You can actually mute or unmute a YouTube video by pressing the M key. Play the Next Video or Previous Video YouTube always has a list of suggestions whether Autoplay is on or not. If the video you're currently watching fails to hold your attention, you can completely skip it and move to the next one on the list. To do this you just have to use the Shift + N YouTube keyboard shortcut keys. This also works if you're watching a playlist. In a playlist, you can even go back to the previous video by pressing Shift + P. Select Search Box While watching a video on YouTube you can simply press "/" and start typing your search query. Pressing the "/" key brings the search bar into focus. You can also select search suggestions using the arrow keys and hit Enter to run the selected search. This is mighty convenient because you never have to use your mouse or slide on the trackpad to click on the search bar. Switch to Fullscreen While playing a YouTube video you can simply press the F key to switch to full screen. If the video is already in full screen, pressing F will switch it back to the normal view. You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen modes in Windows PCs. Enable or Disable Closed Captions Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people with a hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when you're in an environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're also helpful if you're watching something in a language you don't fully understand, or maybe you don't get the accent. You can turn on or turn off closed captions with YouTube keyboard shortcuts by simply pressing "C" on the keyboard. Open YouTube Mini-Player in the Bottom Right YouTube mini-player keyboard shortcuts Another cool feature not many people know about on YouTube is the YouTube mini-player. Yes, you can actually continue to browse YouTube while your video plays without having to open another tab or anything. Press I while the video is playing to move the video into the bottom right corner. So, there they are, some of the most useful YouTube keyboard shortcut keys that we found. Whether you are a power user, a nerd, or a regular Joe who is used to clicking things, these YouTube shortcut keys above should prove very useful. Bill White billwhite92701@...

Turn off the virtual cursor, and press J to rewind, K to pause or play, and L to fast forward! That helps a lot right there!

Thanks for posting all this. One other point that should mention that for these KB commands to work is that we, JAWS users, have to press insert+t to get out of the virtual mode. This, by far, is the most complete list I've seen on this topic and includes something I have been curious to play with, that "c" command for bringing up the caption mode. What I am hoping to discover is whether this will allow for clipping of text from a video for quick easy review and searching later offline and for saving of the info in a text searchable form. And, oh yes, Madison, thanks for raising the question which prompted Bill's thorough list.

I've never been clear on what exactly the difference between the Virtual cursor vursus the PC cursors are. Can anyone offer an explanation or description of the differences between them? Thanks. Eileen

These are great, but if you are using JAWS, you must first turn of the JAWS Virtual Cursor by hitting JAWS Key and Z to get them to work.

Hi, Marty. I never turn off my virtual cursor when using these keystrokes. Instead, I find the seek slider on the YouTube video page, and press Space. Once in the Seek Slider, all the keystrokes work without having to turn off the virtual cursor. If you want to find the seek slider, start a video playing, and use CONTROL plus F to do a search for the word seek, then press space, once JAWS finds the word Seek. You won't need to turn off the Virtual Cursor, but you will probably want to mute JAWS, because with the virtual cursor on, JAWS repeats everything in the Seek Slider.

That's a cool trick. The only problem I can see is that you'll have to find the seek slider every time. It seems like it'd be much easier to just turn the virtual cursor off, then the keystrokes work no matter where your position is in the window.

Hello.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You can find this stuff explained in the JAWS manual, but perhaps it helps to get a more hands-on sort of perspective. The pC cursor is the actual system focus. When you move it around, you are moving the actual system cursor (nB, n ot the mouse pointer). When you are moving around in a word document and want to make an edit, you are using the pC cursor. When you are tabbing around a programme interface or making selections in a standard dialogue box, you are moving the pC cursor and it is directly interacting with the controls. The virtual cursor is just that -- it is normally not visible on screen, and it is exclusively useful in situations where the screen-reader creates a buffer that you can move around in using this cursor *without* directly interacting with anything unless you directly click on a link or button. You can't edit text in virtual mode; the so-called "forms mode" in jaws is really just turning off the virtual cursor and placing your PC cursor in an edit field where you can type. Most often you will see the virtual cursor using a web browser or PDF document, where it is active by default. However you can turn it on in other programmes as well, or put the contents of a window into a virtual buffer, where you can easily read the text therein and copy it to the clipboard if you need to. Using the pC cursor, you can only copy text if it's specifically in an edit field. Hopefully that all didn't just muddy the waters even further.

Thank you. That was actually very good. I suppose I've had it mixed up because I've always thought that it was the purpose of the Jaws cursor to act/do what you describe the virtual cursor doing. Eileen

Hey Eileen.

I think that's understandable. The jAWS cursor can go places the pC cursor won't go because it's normally n ot restricted to places where you can enter text or activatea button. But it isn't very useful in many applications. An interesting thign about the JAWS cursor though is that it is equivalent to the mouse pointer. The mouse pointer can also go places in the window the PC cursor can't reach. That's why when you have the JAWS cursor in certain places in a window you can click the mouseo r use the corresponding nupad buttons to activate the mouse.

If you use the keystrokes given, you don't need to find the buttons. That is the beauty of using keystrokes instead of hunting around for things on the screen. You do however need to make sure your virtaul cursor is off, or, I guess, use the trick mentioned earlier of hitting space on the seek slider area, but that doesn't really seem to be of great advantage to me, since the point of the keystrokes is that they're there always regardless of your position in a window.

You can switch between these using the following shortcut keys. Shift + . or > Shift + , or < Navigate YouTube Video Frame by Frame If you thought the ability to speed up or slow down a YouTube video was impressive, prepare to be surprised. YouTube also lets you go through a video frame by frame. First, you have to pause the video, which you can do using Spacebar or K. Next, press the . (Period) to go forward a frame or press the , (comma) to go back a frame. You can also hold down either of these keys to watch the video is super slow motion in either direction. Raise or Lower Volume Most keyboards have some media controls keys to control things such as volume. These are almost always smaller than the other keys and fixated on the top row where you have to look down and find them. Luckily, the online YouTube video player has its own volume control with YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can control it using the up arrow key to raise the volume or down arrow key to lower the volume. Mute YouTube Video This is another useful YouTube keyboard shortcut but not many know about it. You can actually mute or unmute a YouTube video by pressing the M key. Play the Next Video or Previous Video YouTube always has a list of suggestions whether Autoplay is on or not. If the video you're currently watching fails to hold your attention, you can completely skip it and move to the next one on the list. To do this you just have to use the Shift + N YouTube keyboard shortcut keys. This also works if you're watching a playlist. In a playlist, you can even go back to the previous video by pressing Shift + P. Select Search Box While watching a video on YouTube you can simply press "/" and start typing your search query. Pressing the "/" key brings the search bar into focus. You can also select search suggestions using the arrow keys and hit Enter to run the selected search. This is mighty convenient because you never have to use your mouse or slide on the trackpad to click on the search bar. Switch to Fullscreen While playing a YouTube video you can simply press the F key to switch to full screen. If the video is already in full screen, pressing F will switch it back to the normal view. You can also press the F11 on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen modes in Windows PCs. Enable or Disable Closed Captions Many YouTube videos have auto-generated closed captions for people with a hearing disability. Closed captions are also helpful when you're in an environment where you can't really rely on audio. They're also helpful if you're watching something in a language you don't fully understand, or maybe you don't get the accent. You can turn on or turn off closed captions with YouTube keyboard shortcuts by simply pressing "C" on the keyboard. Open YouTube Mini-Player in the Bottom Right YouTube mini-player keyboard shortcuts Another cool feature not many people know about on YouTube is the YouTube mini-player. Yes, you can actually continue to browse YouTube while your video plays without having to open another tab or anything. Press I while the video is playing to move the video into the bottom right corner. So, there they are, some of the most useful YouTube keyboard shortcut keys that we found. Whether you are a power user, a nerd, or a regular Joe who is used to clicking things, these YouTube shortcut keys above should prove very useful.

If you use the keystrokes given, you don't need to find the buttons. That is the beauty of using keystrokes instead of hunting around for things on the screen. You do however need to make sure your virtaul cursor is off, or, I guess, use the trick mentioned earlier of hitting space on the seek slider area, but that doesn't really seem to be of great advantage to me, since the point of the keystrokes is that they're there always regardless of your position in a window. -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Madison Martin Sent: June 4, 2022 08:00 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: youtube keystrokes Thanks Bill, my only other question is how do I find the play button in the first place?

Check out the following. YouTube Shortcuts Pause and Resume Video Let's start with the most common and useful YouTube keyboard shortcuts. You can press the Spacebar while watching a video to pause it. You can also press the Spacebar to resume a paused video. What many people don't know, however, is that you can get the same results using the K key. Skip Forward or Backward Another set of well known YouTube keyboard shortcut keys are the forward arrow and backward arrow keys. The video skips 5 seconds ahead or behind depending on the arrow key. And once again, here's something not many people know. You can also forward or rewind a YouTube video in 10 second increments by pressing the J and L keys. Skip to a Different Point or Repeat That's not all that YouTube offers in the way of keyboard navigation. You can actually jump to a specific part of the video. A YouTube video, no matter how long, is divided into ten parts. From the number row on your keyboard, you can press any key from 0 to 9 to jump to the specific parts. For instance, pressing 0 will bring you to the start of the video, i.e. repeat the video. Pressing 5 will bring you to the exact middle of the video. Press 9 and you will jump to the last 10th of the video. Speed Up or Slow Down YouTube Video YouTube has a lot of videos of just people talking. Sometimes they talk really fast while sometimes they talk really slow. Luckily, you can speed up or slow down YouTube videos rather easily. This functionality isn't made obvious. But you can get to these controls by clicking on the gear icon and selecting Playback speed. That requires at least 3 clicks.

From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Saturday, June 4, 2022 5:44 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: youtube keystrokes Hello. You can find this stuff explained in the JAWS manual, but perhaps it helps to get a more hands-on sort of perspective. The pC cursor is the actual system focus. When you move it around, you are moving the actual system cursor (nB, n ot the mouse pointer). When you are moving around in a word document and want to make an edit, you are using the pC cursor. When you are tabbing around a programme interface or making selections in a standard dialogue box, you are moving the pC cursor and it is directly interacting with the controls. The virtual cursor is just that -- it is normally not visible on screen, and it is exclusively useful in situations where the screen-reader creates a buffer that you can move around in using this cursor *without* directly interacting with anything unless you directly click on a link or button. You can't edit text in virtual mode; the so-called "forms mode" in jaws is really just turning off the virtual cursor and placing your PC cursor in an edit field where you can type. Most often you will see the virtual cursor using a web browser or PDF document, where it is active by default. However you can turn it on in other programmes as well, or put the contents of a window into a virtual buffer, where you can easily read the text therein and copy it to the clipboard if you need to. Using the pC cursor, you can only copy text if it's specifically in an edit field. Hopefully that all didn't just muddy the waters even further. -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Eileen Scrivani via groups.io Sent: June 4, 2022 11:10 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: youtube keystrokes Hi, I've never been clear on what exactly the difference between the Virtual cursor vursus the PC cursors are.
