drag and drop is basically for sighted users who use the mouse and klick on
things instead of using the keyboard. for us blind users, we usually use
cut/copy and paste. see Tom's answer. just to add, ctrl is an abreviation
for control key, control+x is to cut, control+c is for copy and control+v is
to paste. these keystrokes are windows commands, not JAWS commands, which
are generic/global to what ever program you use in windows.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] not understanding how to drag and drop with jaws
I read up on this and I know the key command of insert, control and num pad
slash, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there a detailed tutorial
or can someone walk me through every step? When I'm in the folder that
needs items dragged i get a message to go to the folder where you drop the
items but I can't get it to drop. Do you select the folder first and then
just go to the folder and drop it there without first using the jaws
keystrokes in the folder I want to drag? In other words, I select what
needs to be dragged, stay in that folder and do the jaws command. Then I
go to the empty folder and do the command a second. I guess my thinking is
you have to do it once for dragging items and then another time in the drop
folder. Please help.
Joanne
