Yes, I'm corrected, in the NumPadSlash and not NumPadMinus being a component
of the drag-and-drop. However, this control + JAWSKey + NumPadMinus does a
slightly different thing than routing JAWS to PC. Still, while it may be of
some value with sighted company on Web pages - it isn't so valuable in most
other scenarios where it throws off many of our usual navigation keystroke
movements. Yes, it has some usefulness, but doesn't cover all of what we're
doing on Web pages, I recall from having tried it with a sighted onlooker.

Hi Flor,
The, control, insert / jaws key, + Jaws cursor / Numpad minus key toggles
the Jaws cursor to follow the PC cursor.
Control, Insert, + Numpad slash is the drag & drop keystroke.
Take care.

The Route JAWS to PC keystroke is, Insert or JAWSKey Insert plus
NumPadMinus; no ctrl key. (With the ctrl key, it's drag-and-drop - a whole
other ball game.) However, it doesn't have the desired effect on Web pages -
at least, in my experience of a sighted user trying to read what I was
reading with JAWS. The caret browsing feature is not aimed for us; I think
it interferes in some way with our navigation of pages, although it's been a
while since I played with it to an extent. Best way to know is to try these
things out - trial and error - with a sighted companion. Perhaps the
solution that'd suit the sighties most would be to turn off the virtual
cursor with JAWSKey+z, and then use one of the two proposed 'solutions' -
that would usually hamper our JAWS use on Web pages and with other similar
environments.

On the other JAWS user's list, we have been discussing how to get better
help from the sighted, when needed, while browsing with JAWS. It has
been stated many times over, that under normal settings, sighted people
mostly can't tell where we are on a web page.
Two suggested remedies mentioned are caret browsing, invoked by f7, and
JAWS cursor follow PC cursor, invoked by pressing insert plus control
plus numpad minus.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has any other suggestions, or
knowledge of any harmful effects of these seemingly helpful, but not
widely known, features of JAWS.
