What is this supposed press Jaws key alt M command IO keep hearing in many
places, first, it is nearly impossible to execute and if one tries it does
nothing!
OK, no more questions for the day, I promise!

Alone, this combo does nothing, as you say. However, if you mark a point in the
text with control+Windows key+k, then move to another point and press this
combo, the text between the two points will be selected.

Sure, and it is still a contortionist key command!

Yeah, pretty much this. If the sighted world isn't really convinced (and I
don't know anyone who uses it, either), is it surprising Edge isn't really
an accessibility priority?

It has been over 2 years since Edge was introduced to the public, for it to
still be not accessible seems a crying shame. I know one can use Narrator
but to have no good alternative to narrator in a program one is already
familiar with seems a shame. Considering Microsoft touts accessibility,

I use IE 11, it has a way to save favorites, Chrome so far as I could tell
when it was the default on my other computer did not, and Firefox always has
locked up on me regardless of the configuration or computer I had it on.
Edge saves nothing according to sighted cousin not even with a mouse.
No we can't all use Firefox, I have never had luck with it, freezes
constantly, can't find much with it. Chrome, can't save favorite websites,
and more. Choice, with compromise always.

For what it is worth nobody I know many of them sited are using Edge at all.
My point is in over 2 years of it being available no evidence of it being
useful at all has crossed my desk and I doubt many of you out there can say
anything to the contrary so far.

Hi Fernando. Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful response. I knew

I won't mind giving Edge a spin just for the hell of it, but I suspect it

definitely better off using those browsers. As Ed said, Edge support is

Hi,
There is a potential showstopper I'm keeping an eye on: in latest Fall
Creators Update preview build, Microsoft Edge appears to not fire an event
desperately needed by screen readers such as JAWS to announce notifications.
This appears to be a regression in recent builds, and I asked Edge
I have Jaws set to read tables and controls but have one page I'd rather

Hey.
I agree with what you're saying, but none of us have to use Edge, or any
product really. I know mS has been pushing it, but the reason some of us use
PCs and not Macs is that there is always plenty of choice. I don't really
see the point in getting too annoyed about it (although it's

Currently, I use Excel 2016 with Jaws 18.0, and I turned on Jaws' virtual
ribbon for easily use, but when this feature turns on, I can't find the way to
insert, or delete a worksheet within a workbook. Sounds like Jaws can't access
it from the home tab. I can insert a sheet by

Holding down shift key and pressing F11 works whether or not virtual ribbon
is being used. This inserts a worksheet. The old command from Excel 2003
for deleting still works in Excel 2013 whether or not the virtual ribbon is

Hello,
JAWS has a method for naming columns and/or rows but using the Excel Naming
Manager is what is now recommended. Here are the steps:
1. You first need to move the keyboard focus to the row containing the
column headers.

preceded by

I do not know the specific answer, however, many library or articles having

The simplest way to mark row and column headers for JAWS reading is not,
however, always a permanent one. The process I use is so simple and
quick that it's OK if I occasionally need to restate them.
Press the JAWS key (insert) but first make sure it's a sticky key so
that it will stay
Another thought. the "r" shortcut takes you to a webpage's different regions.
Pressing r until you hear "main region" is another way of getting to content

For me, the problem with a "Skip to main content" link is that the webpage sees
