Dear Marie

There are some issues with reading the Gmail site, there are however some
shortcut keys which could be of help.  As you will notice if you look below
these shortcuts conflict with Jaws own keyboard shortcuts for the web.  In
order to resolve this issue you will need to press insert+V to go into the
verbosity menu and then toggle the navigation quick keys off.

What are the keyboard shortcuts?
      Answer return to Help Center


Keyboard shortcuts save you time by letting you explore Gmail quickly -- you
never have to take your hands off the keyboard to use the mouse.
To turn these case-sensitive shortcuts on or off, click 'Settings,' and then
pick an option next to 'Keyboard shortcuts.'
