job access with speach (JAWS) [key strokes]

JAWS Keystrokes
The keystrokes listed here are in tables and are grouped by headings. Major divisions are level two headings. Use the JAWS List of Headings (INSERT+F6) or the navigation quick key, H, to move quickly to the section of your choice. You can also use the navigation quick key, T, to move from one table to the next. Use the SHIFT key in combination with most navigation quick keys to move backwards. A list of all navigation quick keys for HTML is presented first. These keys are also repeated later in their respective sections. Navigation quick keys make it faster and easier to move around on a Web page and anywhere else the Virtual Cursor is active. These commands are all assigned to keys on the main part of the keyboard, and are easy to remember and use. Many of the navigation quick keys are also available while using Say All on a Web page. The commands to move by heading, paragraph, form control, table, list, same or different element, next element, and to move to non link text all work while you are using the Say All command. New in JAWS 10 is the ability to configure navigation quick keys. To open the Navigation Quick Key manager do the following:
1. Press INSERT+F2 to open the list of JAWS managers.
2. Press N until you find Navigation Quick Keys in the list of managers.
3. Press ENTER. The Navigation Quick Key manager dialog box opens.
The Navigation Quick Key manager allows you to change quick key assignments or delete them. NOTE: The keys available for editing when you open the Navigation Quick Key manager depend on the program in the foreground when the manager is opened. For example, the availability of navigation quick keys vary in number, and in some cases, function, in Outlook 2007, Microsoft Word, and Internet Explorer, depending on the program in use at the time.
