What's new:
Enhancements in JAWS 18.0.4321 (September 2017)
The following is a list of improvements made between the JAWS 18 July 2017
release and the September 2017 update.
Microsoft Edge Support (must be enabled in Settings Center)
This update introduces support for Edge, the latest web browser from
Microsoft included in Windows 10. To use JAWS with Edge, you must be running
the Windows
10 Creators update (version 1703) or later. While there are still several
JAWS features that are not available in Edge such as selecting and copying
using
the Virtual Cursor, PlaceMarkers, Smart Navigation, Flexible Web, and
domain-specific settings, we have made the overall experience of navigating
pages
in Edge using both speech and braille as similar as possible to working in
Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox. As we continue to work with Microsoft
to improve the Edge experience, future JAWS updates will include greater
functionality. Edge support is also available in the new JAWS 2018.
Edge support is turned off by default in JAWS 18. This is because support
for Microsoft Edge depends on some emerging technologies, which we continue
to
fine-tune in close collaboration with Microsoft. You can turn on Edge
support through Settings Center by doing the following:
list of 6 items
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings.
3. In the Search edit box, type "edge browser" without the quotes.
4. Press DOWN ARROW to move to "Microsoft Edge Browser Support" in the
filtered search results in the tree view.
5. Press SPACEBAR to toggle this option.
6. Press ENTER to save your change and close Settings Center, and then quit
and restart JAWS.
list end
Once JAWS is restarted, you will be able to use JAWS to access web pages in
Edge. If you encounter any unusual issues after enabling Edge support, you
can go back into Settings Center as described above and disable it. If you
do this, please let our Tech Support team know so the issue can be
investigated.
The Virtual Cursor is used to read pages in Edge just like in other
browsers. You can use the standard reading commands as well as most of the
Navigation
Quick Keys to navigate through pages. Currently, there are a few Navigation
Quick Keys that are not yet supported in Edge, however the most used
commands;
moving by headings, paragraphs, forms, tables, lists, graphics, and regions,
are available. More Navigation Quick Keys will be supported in future
updates.
By default, JAWS uses Semi-auto Forms Mode in Edge, which turns on Forms
Mode automatically only when you move to a form control using TAB or
SHIFT+TAB.
Due to the way Edge displays pages, Auto Forms Mode is not available as it
is possible to have multiple controls on a single line. You will need to
press
ENTER to turn on Forms Mode if you use the ARROW keys to move to form
fields.
Other familiar JAWS features that are currently supported include:
list of 4 items
. Displaying a list of links, headings, or form controls by pressing
INSERT+F7, INSERT+F6, or INSERT+F5.
. Searching for text on the current page by pressing CTRL+F.
. Obtaining font information by pressing INSERT+F.
. The ability for JAWS to detect changes in the language used on a web page
and automatically switch to the appropriate voice if available.
list end
As you begin using Edge, one important item to note is that Edge is a modern
app with no menu bar that can be accessed using the ALT key. To access Edge
specific features, press TAB from the bottom of a page or SHIFT+TAB from the
top. Continue using TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the various controls
until you cycle back around to the content area. Alternatively, Edge offers
many of the same shortcut keys found in other browsers such as CTRL+T to
open
a new tab, CTRL+H for History, CTRL+I for Favorites, CTRL+J for Downloads,
and so on.
