Hi Jaws users list, here is the next short lesson in my series, various keys, your best friend.
The backspace key, your best friend! All these short lessons in the keyboard, is your best friend series, they are not a total list of keyboard possibilities for that specific key, they are a list of my favorite and most used items for that key on your keyboard. These short lessons also include step by step instructions on how to use them, and how to get the most out of them, by hearing my various examples of how to use them. *Text documents. Pressing the backspace key in any text document, will remove the letter to the left of the cursor. Pressing the keyboard combination control+backspace key will delete the whole word to the left of the cursor. *File explorer. Using the backspace key in any open File explorer window, will take you up one level from your current position. For example, if I press enter on my name James, on my desktop, this desktop shortcut opens my James user's folder. I hear not-selected, Book share books, 1 of 14. These are my 14 individual, user folders. Pressing the down arrow key, will highlight and select any folder that comes into focus. Or if I use first letter navigation, and press the letter d, until I hear documents, and press enter. I will hear, not selected, BARD 1 of 27. I am now sitting in my document's folder. I can press enter to open any document, Or press the backspace key to go back up one level to my list of 14 user's folders. Ok, now press the backspace key, I am now back up one level in my file explorer window to my James folder with my 14 users folders, I am still sitting on the document folder. If I press the home key, my first folder is selected and I am placed on, my bookshare books folder. Now if I press enter on my bookshare books folder. I will hear, not selected, animals, 1 of 16. This is because I have made 16, main folders of categories for all my bookshare book folders. For example, if I press the letter b, and press enter on, bible various books. I will hear, not selected, a study of angels, 1 of 156. If I press the letters, d, a together quickly, and press enter on David Jeremiah. I will here, not selected, 31 days to happiness, 1 of 37. Now from right here, if I press the backspace key, I will go back up one level, to the bible various books window, with David Jeremiah highlighted. Now if I press j,o,h very quickly and down arrow and press enter on, John F. Macarthur. I will hear, not selected, 1 and 2 peter, courage in times of trouble, 1 of 46. Now from hear, if I press the backspace key, I will go up one level in file explorer, to the bible various books window, with the John F. Macarthur, folder highlighted. If I press the backspace key again, I will go up one level to the bookshare book window, with bible various books highlighted. If I press the backspace key again, from this bookshare books file explorer window. I will hear, James, not selected, bookshare books, 1 of 14. This works in all file explorer windows on your computer. As you go forward and down to each level in the file explorer windows by pressing enter on the selected folders, you come back up one level at a time in the file explorer window, by pressing the backspace key. *On the internet. When you are on most internet websites, if you have pressed enter on a link and want to go back to the previous page, press the backspace key or ALT+left arrow key. *Settings area in W-10. If you are in any of the sub-categories of the settings area, pressing the backspace key will take you back to the search edit box, of the main window of the settings area, just tab one time to the list of the 9 main categories. *Edit box. Pressing the backspace key, will delete one letter at a time, from any search edit boxes that, you are in. Holding down the backspace key in the search edit boxes, will delete all characters quickly, the longer you keep the backspace key pressed down, and the more characters are deleted. *Tip, sometimes in certain situations, you must keep the delete key, held down to clear an edit box, instead of the backspace key. *Using the file explorer, quick access shortcut, windows key+e. Read my audio tutorial called, pinning items 1, quick access. Read the text tutorial in the W-10 and Jaws anniversary update, complete guide part one, under the section called, ****Using Quick Access in Windows 10 with Jaws. Press windows key+e, opens file explorer quick access to your pinned items for quick access. You will hear, file explorer frequent folders expanded, not selected desktop, system folder, 1 of 8, this is what my computer says. Again you can just use the arrow keys to select a folder, or use first letter navigation to highlight and select a folder. Now press the letter d, until you hear desktop, press enter to open this folder. On my computer, You will hear, Not selected, Amazon, followed by the date of the file, internet shortcut, followed by size, 1 of 19. Again you can use the arrows keys to highlight an item or use first letter navigation to select an item from this list. Now if you press the backspace key, you will go back up one level, to the file explorer window, which will still be on the highlighted desktop shortcut. Now I can just press first letter navigation followed by enter, to open to another folder in file explorer, but I think you get the idea. When in file explorer, after pressing enter, you go down a level, after pressing the backspace key, you move back up a level. I hope these short lessons on, different keys, your best friends, are helping all of you to learn how to get around in your W-10 computers more easily, using Jaws. All your member feedback is encouraged by me, all members' feedback is welcomed at all times on the W-10 and Jaws group. 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! Author: Perry Boardman. Jim.
