Hi, no, think of it as the touch screen and the left, right, up and down
arrows keys as swiping with your fingers as you would on the touch screen.

Dumb question for the week. Is the touch cursor the same thing as the
touchpad on a laptop? Thanks.

Hi Brian, to use the touch cursor, hold down the shift key and press the +
(plus) key ( PC cursor key) on the numeric.
Then left, right, up and down arrows keys to navigate. Use the space key to
activate the task you want to perform.
Pressing the plus key twice will deactivate the touch cursor.

Good morning folks. I'm Brian Zolo and I'm located in Gahanna, Ohio, feel
free to call me BZ, grin! I'm having a issue with windows ten at work with
the department of Defense. When I was on windows 7, I use use the jaws
cursor to navigate to the list of classifications that come up as part of
the e-mail markings validator application that comes up when sending an
e-mail message on the classified side. I could then route the pc cursor to
the jaws cursor and then up and down arrow to the desired classification and
then tab to the list of countries and check the desired checkbox, etc. Now,
in wndows ten, when I attempt to use the jaws cursor, it just says blank. I
now am not able to send out e-mail messages on the classified side until I
can get this matter resolved. E-mail messages are essential as part of my
job as I work extensively with our coalition partners in problem resolution.
I've heard frequent reference to using the touch cursor in windows ten
applications; can someone point me to good instructions in using the touch
cursor when navigating with the jaws cursor doesn't work? Thanks so much,
have a great weekend! bZ1

The JAWS cursor works on the Windows 10 machine here, except in some of the
relatively new Windows 10 applications (e.g., Settings), where I need to use
the Touch Cursor instead.
I think this is related to how newer applications build their graphical
interfaces. You really need to use the touch cursor for these.
