I use spacebar for radio buttons but nothing else. Peter -------------------------------------------------- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2008 11:50 PM To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: JAWS 10 - Auto forms mode
Jerry,through numerous versions of Jaws, I've never learned from the documentationor tutorials or ever heard anyone say, as you have, that you can use the space bar to enter Forms Mode. Seriously? That's interesting. Theinstruction has always been to press Enter, and I never inferred that to besuggesting or implying that this is like working with controls labeled buttons, where sometimes enter will do the job but other times it's the space bar. I thought Forms Mode was just an enter thing, end of story. Not so, apparently?Seriously----- Original Message ----- From: "G.W.

I usually use the space bar to go into formsmode with older versions of Jaws. That cuts down on going where I don't wantto.----- Original Message ----- From: Rose CombsTo: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2008 1:42 PM Subject: RE: JAWS 10 - Auto forms mode If you do not like it turn it off. Personally it is something that is very long overdue in my opinion. I like not having to press enter to fill in forms, it needs a bit more work, for example if one tabs to put in apassword after a user name it sometimes turns off and getting it back againcan be a annoying but, for the most part this is a feature I like a lot--a feather that often in the past has made me switch to System Access when I know I am going to be filling in forms.

If I want to fillout something, it is so easy to hit enter to get into forms mode, there is no chance of typing something into an edit field unintentionally, I always know whether I'm in forms mode or not, and if for some reason, I'm unsure,all I have to do is press the key combination for the pc cursor to find out. I don't like my computer or its programs to do my thinking for me, and automatically putting me in forms mode when I may not want to be there fallsinto that category IMO.

However I find it annoying whensometimes it will automatically go in to auto forms mode when you first loadup a site. For example EBay or other sites were there is a search box orusername field, and the website is designed to put you straight to either ofthe boxes. JAWS then switches to forms mode as soon as the page has loaded(sometimes even whilst it's loading), and then you can't use your navigation quick keys to move around the page, without having to press down arrow firstto get out of forms mode. I'd like to have it so that JAWS wont go in to auto forms mode in situations were the website automatically puts you in an edit field. Anybody else have any comments on this?
