Flor,
I tried the first suggest the insert and z and I had to go off your
mail for example and return to it before it would read but apart from
that I will try that tip next time friend drops by.
Now how to get in to the HTML options and we'd be done I'd say?
Thank you,
Tony Sweeney

A quick fix then is to toggle off the virtual cursor with insert+z.
Toggle it back on when sightie is finished working.
There is also another option, called 'screen track virtual cursor',
among the html options.. this should be checked so that the screen
viewer also sees the same as JAWS while reading/editing.
In recent versions of JAWS there is Autoforms Mode, which
automatically comes on when you come to an edit field or a button, or
combo box, etc. (the default sound is a beep.) when you tab away
AutoForms Mode goes off (a slightly lower-pitched beep) It is enabled
by default. I have turned it off.

Tony will 'kill' me for butting in here Flor, but I think I know
what Tony is getting at! I use Supernova and unless I turn off the
auto virtual focus a sighted person is not able to use it as they do
not know about forms Mode and having to get in to Edit boxes. I
have ended up in the past with the person saying to me that they
cannot use it and in the earlier stages I used to exit Supernova but
as Tony says it is nice to know or hear what is going on, I like
that too, though it drives some sighted people mad listening to the
voice but it is great for me. Now sorry Tony if I got that wrong
and if I am butting in where I should not! Lol!

Tony,
On a Web page? Can't they use the mouse for larger movements there?

Subject: [vip_students] Deactivating Jaws Keys
Afternoon,
Now say there is a non jaws user using my computer say to assist
for example, is there any way to deactivate the jaws keys in order
as to not restrict the person in navigating the web for example?
In other words, I'd still want to hear jaws speaking but the
other person wouldn't be impeded by active jaws keys.
Trust that that all makes sens to you!
Best,
Tony
