That doesn't work. JAWS still goes in to autoforms mode straight away even if
you have a delay set. I have told FS about this with no response. Will phone
sight and sound tomorrow.

sounds like the navigation quick key delay setting might be a good one for you
to check out.

Subject: RE: JAWS in auto forms mode, particularly in edit fields
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.
