The cool thing about using bypassing is it does't toggle the virtual > cursor off completely, it just tells JAWS to ignore the next keystroke. The > shortcut for bypassing the virtual navigation in JAWS is INSERT + Z. (If you > are using NVDA, it is INSERT + F2.) So, here's how you'd use the bypass key > to take many common actions when reading an email in Y! Mail: > > INSERT Z then r = reply to an email > INSERT Z then a = reply all > INSERT Z then f = forward the email > > Additionally, there are some keyboard shortcuts not used by JAWS, which don't > require bypassing the virtual cursor prior to use when you are reading an > email message. Those are: > > Ctrl + . = Move to the next email message > Ctrl + , = Move the previous email message > Del = Delete the current email message > > I hope that explanation helps make using Y!
