If you're on a site where you don't want auto-forms mode available, you
can use the personalized settings for this page option to turn it off.
That way you can leave it on for most sites, but where you don't want it
you can have it disabled.

I love autoforms mode, but I hate it on pages with the auto focus in an
edit
field, like google and youtube. As I use quick navigation keys a lot, it
gets really annoying when I hit H for the next heading and it starts
typing
and I don't realize it so press enter, and it searches for something with
an
H at the beginning of my search query. The page will load and I'll hit
escape or numpad plus to get out of forms mode, but then the page reloads
and forms mode gets turned on again. So I'll think forms mode is off
since
I've told JAWS to get out of it, but then it'll start typing.
Kind of ironic how pre JAWS 10, I'd sometimes forget to turn forms mode
on
and start jumping all over the page, which got really annoying when a
sighted person was trying to help me with something. And now that there's
autoforms mode, it is activating sometimes when I don't want it.
Is there a way to leave autoforms mode on, but require you to manually
enter
forms mode on pages with auto focus to edit fields? I would love that.
