Something I've been thinking that I would have expected to have in Jaws for
a while would be the functionality for searching for something represented
somewhere on the screen by a specific string of text, that, for example,
would be in the prompt that Jaws would say when, for example, that object
got focus.
In other words, something similar to searching for a specific piece of text
in a word document, or text file, but since Jaws actually goes and builds
itsself a virtual buffer of the screen contents, I would have expected to be
able to 'search' for a specific object/control/ bit of screen content or
something.
Now, when I turn on keyboard help using Jaws key + number 1, then it says
that Jaws key + Ctrl + F turns on the Jaws find dialogue, but trying out
that thing, it doesn't really seem to find anything unless I'm actually in a
text field, so obviously, it's just another keystroke to activate something
that you can generally access using various keystrokes in different programs
(e.g. Ctrl + Shift + F in OE).
Anyway, was just wondering if I'm missing something, or whether there's some
or other workaround for this type of functionality, since, alternatively,
you might sometimes need to use something like WinDig to 'find' a specific
control.
Any thoughts/ideas?
Thanks in advance
