Hi Adrian, Below are some notes I made back when I was running Chrome regularly. Read all the way through.
From: Ann Byrne via Jfw Would it help to turn off the quick keys with insert-z? I needed to get to a dialog today and that was the trick. Also someone else suggested shift-enter instead of just enter. good luck! Ann From: Mike B Hi Ann, Thank you very much, pressing, Insert / Jaws key + Z, is the trick but, this keystroke toggles the virtual cursor mode On / off. Press enter on the Settings option then press, Insert + Z, to turn the virtual cursor off & you can tab through the Settings options. Or you can press the Alt key to open the list, arrow up to Settings, press, Insert + Z, to turn the virtual cursor off, then press enter on Settings & you can tab through the options. Shift + Enter does not work. Take care. Mike From: Mike B Hi All, Running Widows 7 Pro, Chrome, & Jaws 15 thru 17 latest. When in Chrome if you press the, Alt key, it opens a vertical view of the menues. Well, in J17 when I would arrow down to the, Settings Option & press enter to open, & here is where my problems would begin in J17. In J15 & 16 after pressing enter on the Settings Option I can tab through all the various options but, with J17 I had to turn the virtual cursor off, Insert + Z, before I could navigate through this menu. After some playing around in Jaws 17's Quick Settings, Insert + V, I found that having these 2 settings set the way they're shown below allowed me to navigate the Settings Menu with J17 using the tab key just like with J15 & J16, without having to turn the virtual cursor off. This might not work for everyone but, it worked for me & it's something y'all can try if you experience the same thing I encountered. Here are the 2 settings as they should be: Heading and Frame Options Frame show start & end, should be checked. In line frames show, should be on. Note: For Chrome settings purposes, you want in-line frames on. for website navigation purposes, to skip past ads, you want in-line frames off. The point remains that, ideally, when we consider a suggestion to change a setting to solve one problem, we should be aware of the consequences of the change. Hope this helps others than myself. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers! ----- Original Message ----- From: Adrian Spratt To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 15, 2017 2:42 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Chrome settings Hi. I want to look at settings in Chrome. However, when I press enter on "Settings" in the Chrome menu, all I get is a window with the word "settings" in it. Nothing works: enter, right-click, applications key, alt. It stays static. When I ask JAWS what kind of window it is, I get the following message, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what I should do: Window Classes - Chrome New Class Assigned Classes Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND Assign to: 3State Button CheckBox ComboBox Dialog Edit EditCombo ExtendedSelectListBox Graphic GroupBox HeaderBar HotKey OK Cancel Add Class Remove Class For Help, press INSERT+F1 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
