Hi Jim,
We have moved away from the traditional Config Manager and put these
into the "Settings Center". Read the description below and experiment
with the settings center using the new search option to find these
items. I think you'll get the hang of it.
Regards,
Eric
Settings Center
JAWS Settings Center is a new feature that allows you to quickly
configure and globally apply JAWS settings, or configure and apply
settings for a specific application. It consolidates all options into
one convenient dialog box. It includes a Search edit box, which
provides an extremely fast way to find and edit JAWS functionality.
Settings Center continues to use JCF files and is a direct replacement
for Configuration Manager.
Settings Center consists of six primary areas described below. Press
TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through different parts of the dialog box.
* Application combo box: Select an application from the list to modify
its settings for use with JAWS. To retrieve the JAWS default settings,
press CTRL+SHIFT+D. To retrieve application settings, press SHIFT+TAB
to move focus to the Application combo box. Next, select the
application from the combo box, and then press TAB to move focus back
to the tree view pane.
* Search edit box: Press CTRL+E to move focus to the Search box. Type
a search word or phrase in the edit box to reduce the number of items
that appear in the tree view list. Press DOWN ARROW to move to search
results, and then press ENTER to move focus directly to that item in
the tree view.
* Settings tree view pane: Use the tree view pane to select and change
settings for the selected application. To retrieve the JAWS default
settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+D. To retrieve application settings, press
SHIFT+TAB twice to move focus to the Application combo box. Next,
select the application from the combo box, and then press TAB to move
focus back to the tree view pane. For a brief description of the item
selected in the tree view, press TAB to move focus to the read-only
edit box. Use the Say Line or Say All commands to read the help
message. To vertically scroll through the tree view, use the UP and
DOWN ARROW keys, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys, or first letter
navigation. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to expand or collapse
tree view groups. Use the SPACEBAR to move through and change settings
for each option.
* Configuration display pane: As you move through the tree view, a
sighted user can simultaneously track cursor movement using the
configuration display pane. Press F6 to switch between the tree view
and this pane. This is necessary when typing in an edit or edit spin box.
* Help message pane: Displays context-sensitive help for the item
currently selected in the tree view. Use the Say Line or Say All
commands to read the help message.
* Apply, OK, and Cancel: Use Apply to make changes. Use OK to save
changes and close Settings Center. Use Cancel to close Settings Center
without saving changes.
To use Settings Center, do the following:
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. Settings appear for
the application that has focus. The cursor is in the Search edit box.
2. If you know the setting that you want to change, type a term for it
in the edit box. For example, type the word "braille" without the
quotes for a filtered list of braille settings. Next, press DOWN ARROW
to move to the filtered results in the tree view.
Note: To load the default JAWS settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+D, and then
search for the setting as previously described.
To select a different application, press SHIFT+TAB to move to the
Application edit box. Use ARROW Keys or first letter navigation to
select the application, and then press CTRL+E to search for the
setting as previously described.
3. Press SPACEBAR to select check boxes, radio buttons, or other
buttons, and press F6 to switch between an edit box and the tree view
to change settings.
4. Choose Apply to apply changes and remain in Settings Center, OK to
save changes and exit Settings Center, or Cancel to close Settings
Center without saving changes. The new settings are saved to the
appropriate JCF file.
