The tab andshift tab solution appears to work to resolve the issue. Thanks.

Hi Leonard,
The reason you are getting the two different lists is that JAWS is
misleading/unclear about letting you know when it is really on the
link, rather than just being on the same line which includes the
link. Using the arrow keys is especially prone to the problem. The
solution, described below, uses the tab key, not the arrow keys.
There are at least a couple of ways to make sure JAWS recognizes and
is on the link you want. I am sure others have even more options, but
here are the ones I use interchangeably, depending upon my mood and whim.
You need to hear JAWS actually say the link, but only when you are
getting there with the tab key. Go to either the line above and tab
until you hear JAWS speak the link, or be below the desired link and
shift tab until you hear JAWS speak the link.
The other way is to use insert f7 to bring up the list of links. Find
the one you want, but instead of pressing enter there, tab once and
press enter on the "move to link" button. That routes you to the
right place, and now your applications key will give you the options
for a link.

Your explanation makes sense. However, the inconsistency happens when I
have a link highlighted. For example if I do a search on Google and then
I highlight one of the links in the search result I get the second
information quite often instead of the first infomation I indicated. I
actually just tried it again to be certain I wasn't mistaken and got the
second unwanted information.

The applications key shows context-driven options. The two different
lists you show above are for two different situations, the first is
when you are on a link, and that list gives you the options on what
you can do with that link. The second list you show is for when you
are on a web page, but not on a link; the list is giving you options
for web page navigation and other options relating to the entire web
page you are currently viewing.
The applications key is always context-driven, in all programs; there
thus is no set list.
If I have anything wrong on the above, hopefully someone else on the
list will jump in and correct any mis-statements.

I am using Jaws v16 latest and IE11. I have a problem with the
application key.
When I use the application key in IE11 the menu should show the
following information:
Open
Open in new tab
Open in new window
Save target as...
Print target
Cut
Copy
Copy shortcut
Paste
E-mail with Windows Live
Translate with Bing
All Accelerators

I often will get the following information with the application key in
IE11 and I would like to consistently get the menu information shown
above in this text and not the following information.
Back
Forward
Search using copied text Ctrl+Shift+L
Save background as...
Set as background
Copy background
Select all
