[JAWS-Users] adding a friend on Facebook
I am using the Facebook mobile site and cannot add friends. I am using the add friend link, but requests are not going out. Do I need to do something else? Thanks. Vicki For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome
I've never heard that "context menu" applies to applications keypress only and I don't see why it would. They are both, in fact, context menus. The only thing I don't really understand is why one sometimes offers more options than the other; hence my calling it "the extended version". Sighted people usually right click on an item. The numpad star simulates this action if you are using a screen-reader. Of course your mouse cursor is not always where you'd expect it to be, if you don't use a mouse. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: July 1, 2018 5:21 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome 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 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.

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader Program. So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently. Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is perfectly fine. The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take it up with Freedom Scientific directly. Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences, three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also please place your message above your signature line so as not to force people to read it before they get to your message. Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval. Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done for your protection. The message list might state that there is an attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them. When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 700 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here. Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not receive an answer for a number of reasons. Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a number of such messages then the server will remove your email address automatically. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Posting to a single address IE this list is the preferred acceptable practice as we do not allow cross posting. That is simply posting to more than one list or address in the same message. You can post the same message to multiple list, but not at the same time. Now to the matter of replying to a posted message: The proper practice is to simply hit the reply command in your respective email client, IE control + R is used quite often in many programs. Replying to all, for example control + shift + R in Windows Live Mail will only serve to get your message flagged by the server for having too many recipients. Then at that point your message gets held for one of us to accept or
