It's good to have this concise explanation of the difference. Here are two ways 
I experience it: as a JAWS user

1. On some websites, refreshing with F5 puts you at risk of losing data you've 
previously entered. You may be sent right back to the sign-in page. Not often, 
but it does happen.

2. Insert-escape often enables JAWS to speak the content of a page that it 
wasn't able to before that command. F5 may or may not produce this benefit.

Jaws key plus escape refreshes what is already on your screen. F5 refreshes the 
entire web page so that if anything has been updated on the web page, you will 
see what is new on the page. HTH Bill White billwhite92701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi, what does the "jaws model" mean technically? I understand the F5 command 
and so far understand that Jaws key plus escape is a Jaws command (not a 
windows command) but was just wondering when doing the jaws command what does 
that do different from the F5 one. Many Thanks Daniel

all currently displayed items on the screen.

It doesn't refresh the screen by telling you the percentage. When I press f 5 
it does so, but not when I press the escape Key. Laura

It refreshes the screen. Probably cleans up and realigns the underlying object 
model that JAWS uses, but then I'm not an expert on that stuff.

Laura,

Ins+Esc is a JAWS command that refreshes the object model for viewing the page. 
It is not the same as the F5 key for IE.

No f 5 actually refreshes the page. I tried using the escape key but the 
webpage I find odesn't refresh if you use that command. Laura
