Michelle,
Don't feel too bad! there was a time when - due to a peculiarity in
JAWS - JAWS right-mouse click and shift+F10 didn't work the same way, as
they should have; you had to either use the JAWS right-mouse click menu
or route JAWS to PC as you were doing, then right-mouse-click, to bring
up the focused item's correct right-click menu options. But it's been
fixed for a few years now.

How exactly I survived more than a decade of Jaws use without knowing
that
shift-f10 could pull up the context menu I truly don't know, but
funnily
enough, as soon as Flore imparted this timeless wisdom, my problem was
solved. :) Thank you so much for your help with this - I'm now busily
catching up on all the time I lost fumbling in ignorance! :)
All the best and thanks again,
Michelle

Getting down to the obvious... Are you sure the window you're working
with
is maximized? Sometimes, that's worth a double check! At the point
where you
route JAWS to PC, instead, press shift+f10 to get into the context
menu and
go that way.

I'm using jaws 12, windows xp. Can you think of a reason why
executing
that
command would fail to recognize the jaws key at all?
To add another wrinkle, I find the process works fine when trying to
download a file from the remote site, but not when trying to upload
one.
This is peculiar and didn't used to happen.
Officially confused!

No, you're following them ok. And I also find that the control +
capslock +
leftbracket 'equivalent' won't work, in a laptop configuration, to do
the
functionality using the jaws desktop layout.
Anything else with the FN key? Which version of JAWS are you using?
this functionality was formerly known as "tether JAWS to PC".

That's what I was doing. Capslock + control + jaws cursor, or
capslock
+
control + leftbracket (aka the route pc to jaws key on a laptop). Am
I
mmisinterpreting your instructions?
Thanks for you help with this, btw.

Use the CAPSLOCK key which can function as the JAWS key. My idea was
that if
the JAWS cursor had become linked or 'tethered' to the PC cursor,
that
they
be untethered. The PC cursor won't always operate correctly if the
JAWS
cursor is tethered to it. This causes awkward navigation problems.

Flore,
This is curious. When I do this, it acts like I'm not pressing the
insert
key at all. It simply reads "control p" or "control leftbracket"
(Please
note that I'm using a laptop rather than a desktop).

This may (or may not) have something to do with it. press
CTRL+INSERT+JAWS keys, until JAWS says, "the JAWS cursor will not
follow
the PC cursor".

Hi all,
I am genuinely confused by something that's happening with
FileZilla.
I've
used it successfully in the past to transfer a number of files to
and
from
an ftp site, but today something odd is happening. IN my
experience
the only
way to upload a file is to arrow to the file name, route the Jaws
cursor to
the PC one, then right click using jaws keystrokes and select the
appropriate option. This worked fine just a few weeks ago, but
today
I
find
nothing happens when I go through this sequence of keystrokes.
Jaws
simply
says "right click" but doesn't seem to execute the command. I'd
welcome any
suggestions for a workaround. For what it's worth, I'm running
jaws
12
on
windows XP.
Many thanks,
Michelle
