Hi Lyn
I used to use JAWS but now only use Thunder and got my version back in 2006
when it wasn't free. In those days their webpage had lots of useful notes
you could download. Don't know if it still has because I haven't looked for
ages...
Anyway I've copied below an extract from a helpfile I got back then: hope it
helps, but I suspect some keystrokes might conflict with JAWS keys, which
could lie at the root of your difficulty. See if this helps.
Mouse left click = NKP 5
Mouse right click = NKP minus
Mouse pointer up and read = NKP 8
Mouse pointer down and read = NKP 2
Mouse pointer left and read = NKP 4
Mouse pointer right and read = NKP 6
Mouse pointer, move by pixel = NKP star
Mouse pointer, move by object = SHIFT + Caps Lock + NKP star

Subject: [access-uk] feedback on screen readers wanted
Hi list,
I currently use jaws for windows as my primary screen reader. However, I
would like to get feedback on any of the free ones out there such as NVDA,
thunder and any other screen reading software that could be of use to us.
I was mainly wondering if there is an equivalent to the mouse cursor or
Jaws cursor but so far have not been able to find this when using NVDA or
thunder. Any information would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Lyn & Twinny.
