Hello all,

I was looking for a keystroke using the Insert + Space bar + J command and I found that there are a long list of keystrokes that I never before heard about.

Is there a way to obtain all the keystrokes that Jaws shows when we press Insert + space bar + J?

The problem is that there are things that I was not aware about, others that I had no idea that Jaws was able to do, and other things that I was no aware that I was able to do as a computer user. Could be difficult to type what we don’t know on the search field when we press Insert + space bar + J.

Thanks for all,

Pablo

So at the risk of sounding dumb, if I’m listening to music am I able to use one of the layered keystroke under volume? Would it be system?

For the past several years, I’ve been doing sndvol to turn things down.

This was a helpful list that I was to lazy to look up so thank you!

Yo Dog,

 

Without trying it myself I would think while listening to music or just listening to Jaws scream at you that you would use the layered keystrokes to raise or lower the volume.  No need to go into, sndvol ,  or there wouldn't be layered keystrokes to do it.

Hi Mike,

 

Thank you for sending these keystrokes. However, it is not exactly what I am looking for.

When I use the search for commands feature, we are able to type a keyword on the search field, and Jaws shows a list of commands associated with this keyword.

There a large number of keywords we are able to use. And this is my problem.

I would like to know if there is a way to obtain all the keystrokes that the search for commands feature is able to show. The list of commands you sent is great. However, it is a fraction of the commands. If you use keywords like table, mouse, help, invisible cursor , and a very long etc. You will see that for each keyword appears a list of commands. I am trying to avoid the fishing process, because not knowing what to look, or what is jaws able to do or not. The list of keywords could be infinite.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Pablo

Subject: [TechTalk] Large list of Jaws keystrokes

 

Hello all,

 

I was looking for a keystroke using the Insert + Space bar + J command and I found that there are a long list of keystrokes that I never before heard about.

Is there a way to obtain all the keystrokes that Jaws shows when we press Insert + space bar + J?

The problem is that there are things that I was not aware about, others that I had no idea that Jaws was able to do, and other things that I was no aware that I was able to do as a computer user. Could be difficult to type what we don’t know on the search field when we press Insert + space bar + J.

 

Thanks for all,

 

Pablo

 

 

As for layered commands used in tables, I don't think there are any.  It appears that JAWS key space followed by t followed by question mark lists the commands used for table navigation that are not layered commands.  In other words, this appears to be a help feature to have table navigation commands announced, not a way to use layered commands in tables.

Hi Mike,

 

Thank you for sending these keystrokes. However, it is not exactly what I am looking for.

When I use the search for commands feature, we are able to type a keyword on the search field, and Jaws shows a list of commands associated with this keyword.

There a large number of keywords we are able to use. And this is my problem.

I would like to know if there is a way to obtain all the keystrokes that the search for commands feature is able to show. The list of commands you sent is great. However, it is a fraction of the commands. If you use keywords like table, mouse, help, invisible cursor , and a very long etc. You will see that for each keyword appears a list of commands. I am trying to avoid the fishing process, because not knowing what to look, or what is jaws able to do or not. The list of keywords could be infinite.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Pablo

Yo Dog,

 

Without trying it myself I would think while listening to music or just listening to Jaws scream at you that you would use the layered keystrokes to raise or lower the volume.  No need to go into, sndvol ,  or there wouldn't be layered keystrokes to do it.

 

 

Stay safe & take care.  Mike.

So at the risk of sounding dumb, if I’m listening to music am I able to use one of the layered keystroke under volume? Would it be system?

 

For the past several years, I’ve been doing sndvol to turn things down.

This was a helpful list that I was to lazy to look up so thank you!
