Olusegun,
Your front machine likely has the Insert Key Layout enabled (which
replaces Window-Eyes commands with others than newcomers might be more
comfortable using). To disable it and restore the keys you are used to,
simply press Control-Alt-0.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Everyone:
How I wish I were an expert; then I won't have to ask too many
questions. Anyway, this one requires a long-winded explanation to
drive the point home somewhat.
I have three copies of Window-Eyes in use at work--7.2 on the computer
that acts as server for the network at work; 8.54.1 (yes, I think
that's what it is !!!) at my work desk and 8.2 at the front desk which
is the cash register at work. So, let's start with the front desk:
With NumLock turned off, when I press insert-Plus on the numPad to
route the cursor I hear "Focus cursor routed to mouse cursor". When I
press the Plus key on the NumPad by itself I hear "Focus cursor.
Question: What is the focus cursor?
On the computers in the back office, when I perform the same exact
functions, I hear "Cursor routed to mouse pointer".
Question: At what point did the "focus cursor" replaced the more
familiar cursor?
It's important that I get help sorting this out. Why? On the Web
Portal where I enter claims for adjudication, when a record is
selected, I would route the cursor to the mouse pointer.
When I route the cursor to the mouse pointer, Window-Eyes used to
read: "Pointer routed to element". I then use the number 4 and 6
keys on the NumPad to read the associated record number under the
cursor. This enables me to verify that the correct record has been
selected. Next, I use the simulated left mouse key to CLICK the
highlighted element so it gets selected; I then tab several times to
get to the COPY button which I activate with either the <enter> key or
the spacebar.
When the selected record opens, I am able to work on it.
But now with this new "focus cursor", I can't do what I used to do
anymore.
Question: Is there a way to revert back to what it used to be?
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
