I think this lesson will help those of you who are coming from using window eyes to Jaws the most. Creators update, The Insert and Escape keys, your best friend, part 3 This will be the final lesson in this series, the Insert and Escape keys, your best friend part 3. This is a text tutorial, provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, anyone may freely share this file. Author: Jim Flusche
Remember all these keystrokes may work in previous versions of windows. The insert and escape keys, your best friend part three. We will look at the reading commands and editing text with Jaws. In this lesson the Jaws Capslock key will be just Capslock, and the Jaws Insert key will be just Insert. I personally use a combonation, of both the desktop and the laptop keyboard layout. Of course this depends on what method is the most convenient at the time in using both my hands on the keyboard. == **Reading commands with Jaws. **Read the current word, Capslock+Numpad5, or Capslock+K, or Insert+Numpad5. **Moves to and Read the prior word, Capslock+Numpad4, or Capslock+J, or Insert+Numpad4. **Moves to and Read the next word, Capslock+Numpad6, or Capslock+L, or Insert+Numpad6. **Pressing Capslock+Numpad7, or Capslock+Home key on the 6pack, or Inser+Numpad7, Says the text from the beginning of the line up to the active cursor. **Read the current line, Capslock+Numpad8, or Capslock+Up arrow, or Insert+Numpad8. **Pressing Capslock+Numpad9, or Insert+Numpad9, or Capslock+Page up on the six pack, Says the text from the active cursor to the end of the current line. **Pressing Capslock+Numpad1, or Insert+Numpad1, or Capslock+the End key on the six pack, Reads the top line of the active window. **Pressing Capslock+Numpad2, or Capslock+Down arrow, or Insert+Numpad2, Document reading Command.

All member feedback, is welcome at all times by me. I hope you have learned the advantage, of having your Jaws setting set to the Laptop keyboard layout. This way as you use both hands to press the various keystrokes for Jaws, the Laptop layout makes it much easier to use both hands! *My purpose for developing all of this free material for the Blind computer user is to help teach and assist a Blind person to use w-10 with a Screen reader like Jaws. *My hope is that the Blind computer user will grow in confidence, in their ability, to use, and to navigate the w-10 computer system, using just Jaws. *We also have group members, to can help teach about using NVDA, on a W-10 computer as well. *This is one of many tutorials, I hope to produce, for the Blind community, to help teach all of them, how to use a W-10 computer using Jaws. *My hope is , That over time, they would learn how to do, and complete, various computer tasks in W-10, all by themselves. *The W-10 and Jaws yahoo group is a freely provided ministry of The River Yahoo group. *I freely offer the W-10 and Jaws group, and all of its materials, as a free and voluntary work of love, to reach out and teach all the blind computer users all over the world, how to learn how to use a W-10 computer using Jaws. You can subscribe to The Windows 10 and Jaws Yahoo group at: windows-10-and-jaws-subscr...@yahoogroups.co.in You can subscribe to The River group at: the-river-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Happy learning! God bless! Sincerely: Jim Flusche. Owner of the Windows 10 and Jaws and The River Yahoo groups. >From your humble Pinhead! A Ballast for My Soul Life is like a stormy sea That tosses to and fro, But God's Word will ever be A ballast for my soul. By its truth I'll be held fast Till I reach heaven's shore Where I will be home at last And sail life's sea no more!
