its a great idea and you might send the suggestion to

it would definately be nice to easily identify large precise blocks of text
within documents for copy and paste etc. the current process is clunky and
at times quite frustrating, particularly when trying to pick through pages
of document and jump to points within a paragraph. something that would
allow a virtual mark at the beginning and end of desired text, followed by
an easy stroke to select it would be great.

So, that we have the same terminology. You are wanting to mark block of
text?

Hi, Robert. Agreed, these keystrokes are useful. But the question is a valid
one and points to a failing in JAWS. It would be extremely helpful to have
the capacity to choose start and end points for text selection, which is so
easy to do with a mouse.

Selecting text from cursor to the end of line: shift end from cursor to the
beginning of line: shift home
from cursor to the end of document: control shift end
from cursor to the beginning of document: control shift home to select a
page at a time: shift page up or down

Hi everyone, I was just wondering with jaws, is there a way to kind of mark
some selected text from a starting point and go to where you want to mark
the end? I wondered if there is a command for this in Jaws as I don't know.
If any one uses a programme which is also a screenreader called NVDA I think
it is NVDA key plus F9 then NVDA says "start mark" and when you have
selected from where you started and then go to where you want to end it is
NVDA plus F10 then all you have to do is paste it with Control V. Is there a
way to do this with jaws? Thanks Daniel
