From the What's New Section of Help for 5.0:
PlaceMarkers
This revolutionary feature is designed to further enhance navigation of
frequently used Web pages, HTML forms or applications, and other
documents. Through
an extremely simple interface, you can add, name, navigate, and remove
PlaceMarkers. This provides even more opportunities for future jobs, and
the JAWS
PlaceMarker Technology will be one more tool to make those jobs even
more productive and valuable.
For more information on this new feature, refer to the help topic
PlaceMarkers.
Here is the text from the Help Topic in JAWS 5.0...
PlaceMarkers
PlaceMarkers allow you to quickly and easily navigate to commonly used
areas of your favorite web pages or HTML documents. You can use
PlaceMarkers to jump
between certain areas of a page, mark important sections of an HTML
document, or indicate key form elements. For example, you could use
PlaceMarkers to
move to required fields in a complicated form or specific paragraphs in
a long HTML document.
Press K to move to the next PlaceMarker, or press SHIFT+K to move to the
prior PlaceMarker.
Temporary PlaceMarkers are very useful on new web pages. When first
exploring a page , they are a great "breadcrumbs" type navigation aid
that allows you
to mark a spot to which you might want to return. Press CTRL+K to set a
Temporary PlaceMarker on a web page. Only one Temporary PlaceMarker may
be set
on each web page, but you can set additional Temporary PlaceMarkers on
other web pages (one per page). If you move to a location on a web page,
set a Temporary
PlaceMarker, then decide you want to move it to another location on the
page, just move the Virtual Cursor to that new location and press CTRL+K
again.
The last location where you set a Temporary PlaceMarker is saved until
you move it again, or remove the Temporary PlaceMarker from the
PlaceMarkers List
dialog. You can browse to other web pages, exit JAWS, even restart your
computer, and your Temporary PlaceMarkers are preserved.
To read or move to a specific PlaceMarker, press CTRL+SHIFT plus the
numbers 1-0 to read, and the same keystroke twice to move to the
PlaceMarker. For example,
to read the text at the location of the fifth PlaceMarker, press
CTRL+SHIFT+5. To move to the fifth PlaceMarker, press CTRL+SHIFT+5 twice
quickly.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+K to display a list of all PlaceMarkers on the current
page. Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to select a PlaceMarker in the list.
Then press
SPACEBAR on the Move To button or press ALT+M to move the virtual cursor
to the PlaceMarker's location on the page.
Adding PlaceMarkers
To add a PlaceMarker:
1. Open a web page or other HTML document.
2. Move the virtual cursor to the location on the page where you want to
put the PlaceMarker.
3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+K.
4. Press SPACEBAR on the Add button or press ALT+A.
5. JAWS suggests a name for the PlaceMarker based on the text present at
your cursor's current location. You can enter a new name if necessary.
6. Press SPACEBAR on the OK button to add the PlaceMarker to this page.
PlaceMarkers added in this way remain there until you remove them. You
can add a temporary PlaceMarker by pressing CTRL+K.
Note: If the page changes significantly, your PlaceMarkers may no longer
be accurate. If this happens,
remove the out-dated PlaceMarkers
and add new ones by following the steps above.
Renaming PlaceMarkers
To change the name of a PlaceMarker:
1. Open the page containing the PlaceMarker you want to rename.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+K to display a list of PlaceMarkers on this page.
3. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the PlaceMarker.
4. Press SPACEBAR on the Change Name button or press ALT+C.
5. Enter a new name for the PlaceMarker and then press SPACEBAR on the
OK button.
Removing PlaceMarkers
To remove one or more PlaceMarkers:
1. Open the page containing the PlaceMarker you want to delete.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+K to display a list of all PlaceMarkers on the
current page.
3. Use the UP/DOWN ARROW keys to select a PlaceMarker.
4. Press SPACEBAR on the Remove button or press ALT+R to delete the
PlaceMarker.
Tip: If you want to delete all PlaceMarkers for this page, press
SPACEBAR on the Remove All button or press ALT+L.
Sharing PlaceMarkers
To share your PlaceMarkers with other JAWS users:
1. Press WINDOWS KEY+E to start Windows Explorer.
2. Go to the drive and folder where you installed JAWS.
3. Open the JAWS SETTINGS\ENU\PlaceMarkers folder.
4. PlaceMarker information is stored in .PMI files. Locate the .PMI file
with the same name as the page containing the PlaceMarkers you want to
share.
5. Copy this file and distribute it to other users. These users then
need to copy the .PMI file into the JAWS SETTINGS\ENU\PlaceMarkers
folder on their
computers. The users can now navigate that HTML page with your
PlaceMarkers.
