It's important for a user to know the difference between JAWS commands
and Windows commands so that, when they are faced with having to access
a computer with no JAWS and having only a limited time to play with it,
they can still do basic things with another screen-reader (perhaps NVDA)
and the keyboard.

Switching off the virtual cursor with insert+z in Internet Explorer
and then pressing control f will yield the Internet Explorer find.

While that may be true, for all practical purposes, the Windows
search command in IE is overridden by the JAWS Find command when you
press Control-F.

Rick has it right. Internet Explorer does and did utilise control f,
before JAWS, for its 'find on this page' command. (you can see that
command in IE's edit menu.) It's more limited than JAWS has it, but
it does exist.

That's not quite true. Some programs, notably Internet Explorer,
have no Windows search command of their own, and in such cases ,
Control-F, as well as JAWS key-Control-F, both invoke the JAWS Find
command.

Hi Gerald,
Control + F, is a Windows command, and not Jaws.
This will open the Windows Search utility.
The Jaws command is, Jaws Key + Control + F,
and does use the F3 and Shift F3 .
HTH,
Rick Justice

Press Control-F to initiate the JAWS Find command. Press F3 to
search
forward and Shift-F3 to search backward. Press JAWS key-Control-F
to invoke
the JAWS Find command in Outlook Express, Firefox, or other
programs in
which Control-F doesn't work.

I am embarrassed to say I can't remember the key strokes for the
jaws find
or search command. I would appreciate someone refreshing my
memory. Also
with which combination of keys do I advance the search if the
original
search string doesn't change? Thank you, smile.
