This is worth clearing up. The following three keystrokes are often interchangeable, but not always: the applications key (located between the right-hand Windows and control keys), shift-F10 and the right mouse click key (numpad star key). Like several other keystrokes, they all open menus specific to where you are in an application. For whatever reason, it's called the "context men" when you press the applications key. I don't recall coming across that term for shift-F10 or the right mouse click.
Again, all three keystrokes typically open the same menu choices, but not always. If you think an option ought to be available with the applications key but it doesn't show up, it's worth trying the other two. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2018 4:36 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome Well, that's because it's called the Applications Key. Haha it, or shift-f10 if you want the extended versions, opens up the context menu, which is called that because it's contextual/dependent on what sort of item you are focused on. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of sandy Sent: July 1, 2018 3:44 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome not all people refer to the application key as the context menu -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2018 2:17 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome Just curious, but have you not done this before? The context menus are one of the most integral/useful parts of windows for most people. In some cases it's hard to imagine using certain applications without them. Check out the context menus in file explorer! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of LeDon Sent: July 1, 2018 2:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome You wrote: 1.

When you find the link for the mp3 you want, do this: 1. Open the context menu, and press enter on, "save link as". 2. When the dialogue opens,tab to the file type combo box, and down arrow to all files, then tab to the save button, and press the spacebar. The file should download to your default location. Note: This seems to be a standard "Save As", dialogue box. HTH, Rick Justice "Tomorrow's another day, another way!"

Normaly in IE, I find the link for the MP3 and IE will ask to run or safe. Crome play the podcast instead of asking to save. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Justice Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2018 5:29 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome To whoever initiated the original thread, Can you give an example of the website you are having trouble with?
