[JAWSLite] Re: Text selection

Yup, I use that one often in windows explorer etc., but like I said, I'm specifically sort of looking os some sort of selection functionality in 'text' files/editors.
In the old days I would just have left the cursor in a certain place, and used the mouse to scroll down using the scroll-bar, and then, holding in the 'shift' key, just have clicked at the second point, but, obviously, that won't work using jaws. Not easily anyway since you'd sort of have to use the Jaws cursor to 'find' the scroll-down symbol without actually knowing how far down you were actually going.

like a snap to slection point? uh... you can use control plus down arrow and space bar for noncontiguous items in a list, but as far as text goes, I don't think so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob Kruger" <jacobk@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi all

Is there a way to toggle text selection on/off.
What I mean, is, is there a way to sort of tell windows to 'start selection here', then navigate/move down to somewhere else, and then basically toggle on the selection from the 'starting point up to where you now are? 

Just something I've been wondering about for a while now.
