One thing that might assist is if you run JAWS from the system Tray
instead of the Taskbar. That way, the JAWS window won't be in the way of
the other running programs. You then bring up the JAWS context menu with
Insert+j; etc.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Alt Tab
Hi,
I have posted about this a couple times before and didn't get much
feedback
but I'm going to try again because it's about to drive me crazy.
Previously, up through Windows Vista, I could alt tab between all of
the
programs that I had open. With Windows 7 and now with Windows 8,
often I
cannot alt tab between all of them. I'll give you an example. I was
just
paying a bill online. I had open Internet Explorer, Notepad (where my
payment info was), and JAWS. I was in IE and wanted to alt tab to
Notepad.
However, when I pressed alt tab, it went from IE to JAWS and would go
no
farther when I held alt and continued to press tab. If I released alt
and
then pressed alt tab again, it would go back to IE and would go no
farther.
So, only IE and JAWS were in the alt tab order even though Notepad was
also
open. To get to Notepad, I had to use the JAWS window list, which I
don't
find as convenient as alt tab. Has anyone else experienced this and
does
anyone have any idea how to fix it? As I said, this started with
Windows 7
but I am now using Windows 8, on a different machine, and am getting
the
same behavior. I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 at the same
time
that I upgraded from JAWS 9 to JAWS 13 (I'm now using JAWS 14). I
don't
know if this is a Windows issue or a JAWS issue or something else.
This is
a small thing but it
really bugs me so if anyone has any ideas, please speak up.
Thanks,
Scott Duck
