hi Yardbird,
sorry for late respond to your mail.
yes, i also a long time user of jaws screen reader, if i'm not wrong, i started
since jaws2.0. ok, to answer to your "alt+d"
question, in most of the common windows task, Microsoft do make some keyboard
keystroke ready to use. for example, to go to system
tray, for jaws user, you may tell me it is "insert+f11" but windows do have
it's own keystroke "Winkey+b". to go to current running
application list, for jaws user, it is "insert+f10", but windows do have it's
own keystroke "WinKey+tab". this also goes the same
with the keystroke to the address bar. for jaws user, you may tell me the
keystroke is "alt+d", but windows do have it's own
keystroke "F6".
for my personal opinion, we should also know and use to those keystroke
provided by Microsoft, because, in anytime, you may happen
to use another computer where they don't install jaws in it, and you still free
to use a computer.
when you don't have jaws on a system, the following keystroke are useless:
insert+f10
insert+11
alt+d
and etc etc.

Hi Allan,
I'm a longtime Jaws user. I often use Alt D to go to the address bar in IE.
Sometimes I use F4. And sometimes, when my only purpose in going there is to
type in a new URL, I use the Windows-style Open command, control O. In none
of these cases do I have any problem or any conflict. And I can't seem to
think of what sort of Jaws-specific keystroke Alt D is. Can you explain?
thank you.

hi,
i see this in different point of view.
i totally not suggest ctrl+d for the following reason
ctrl+d is a jaws script keystroke where f6 is internet explorer or windows
original keystroke.
ask yourself, if you too use to jaws keystroke, how if one day you have to
use a computer without jaws in it? for example, if that
system loaded with NVDA, you are not able to use ctrl+d.

Hello Alan.
I would not suggest "F6" for the following reason. If you do it your way
depending on where you are in Internet Explorer it may
take several presses of the keystroke to get to the address bar. However if
you press "alternate +D" you are likely to get to the
address bar 100% of the time as long as you are focused anywhere in Internet
Explorer.
I hope this helps.

but, why not just press f6 on IE for the address bar? f6 also can be use at
windows explorer, provided you have address bar turn on
in tools/options.

Alt D puts focus in the address bar. When you move there, the web address is
highlighted so you can clear by hitting delete or just
begin typing what you want. For example you could type
www.freedomscientific.com, hit enter and you will go to that site. Alt D
then
control C is the quickest way to copy a web address.

Do you mean IE instead of OE? OE is not a website. Judith

Hi,
In OE I press alt+d to get address of web site that I am currently on.
Is there a key stroke to clear web site address?
