Hello Mike,
In Internet Explorer and in Google Chrome the CTRL key with 1-8 switches between tabs or pages in the order that they were opened. CTRL+9 goes to the last tab opened. These key combinations can have different purposes in other programs. For example, in Word CTRL+1 gives single spacing, CTRl+2 gives double spacing, etc. Here is a link where IE key combinations are listed. There is a Show All link on the page that you can use. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/ie-keyboard-shortcuts#i e=ie-11-win-7 Take care.

Would you please point me in the right direction so I can learn more about them? Thank you very much. Take Care.

When I'm in a browser, I sometimes find myself stuck between the address bar and my favorites bar in IE for example. All the tabbing back and forth doesn't help to get me out of it and I eventually have to close the browser all together and relaunch to have access to the actual web content. This happens too where if I press the alt+n command to access the information bar. Again, in IE. I am using Jaws 15, but this also happened in earlier versions of Jaws. I haven't' had too much opportunity to play with the new JFW 16 beta so I don't know if this is something that is less of an issue with the new release. Does anyone else have to deal with this and if so, do they know how to either fix it or at least make it so that they can get back to the webpage?
