It is, as they might say, a compromise solution. It may work well in certain
situations, i.e., when a virtual cursor is not involved; but not when it is.
The JAWS cursor is a mouse pointer emulator, not a mouse pointer
replacement. You've seen sighted folk use the mouse? They just know where
and what to do with it, by seeing the pointer as they move on the screen.
And there are certain areas the mouse will not go.

Well then, I'm not sure what this key combo is good for.
How about invoking it when you reach the place you want your sighted
person to see where you are?
We know that when the virtual cursor is off JAWS works unpredictably.
I'm suggesting that there needs to be some type of mode where the
sighted and the blind are on the same page, so to speak.

It won't work in files when using the virtual cursor. Also, be aware
that list navigation and some other features are changed a bit by this
'tethering' (as it is sometimes known). The keystroke has been around in
JAWS for several years. Be careful that you don't accidentally turn it on.
The most practical solutions using JAWS are to have your sighted
assistant get used to your JAWS speaking along; or (unfortunately) when
in virtual cursor mode, to turn off the Virtual Cursor with JAWSKey+z.

Hi all, I tried this command of ctrl + JAWS key + num pad minus in IE,
but the JAWS doesn't follow the Virtual curser like it does the
regular PC curser. I tried in a number of places and it works in
Word, and lists of files. If you press it twice, it will stay active
until you change it. I don't think this will work for us on HTML
pages though. I can't wait to hear from others about this Take ccare
all.
