Kimber, This is clearly a problem and one worth reporting to FS, which I realize you've been doing more of your fair share lately. Another lister described a similar problem recently.
Insert-z toggles the virtual cursor on and off. As you've found, it enables you to skip by heading, etc., and not only on the Internet. It's a very useful option in MS word, too, for documents that contain headings, tracking information, etc.. On a web browser, it's on by default and should stay that way unless you deliberately turn it off. I've had to turn it off in several situations in recent months, such as in order to get past a button on a certain webpage and to navigate with Chrome before I gave up on it. But again, it shouldn't be going on and off randomly. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2016 10:18 AM To: jaws-users-list Subject: [JAWS-Users] What does jaws key + Z do? Hi All, Will someone tell me, please, what jaws key plus Z does? I can figure that it turns something on and off and I think it has something to do with quick nav keys. But since I installed jaws 17, this keystroke seems to be turning itself on and off in a random way. I've noticed this particularly when attempting to read my gmail through the web interface using the html view. If I switch from the gmail window to some other window then return, I am often unable to use the X to navigate to the first checkbox. If I press jaws key plus Z twice I hear on and off then the navigation keystroke seems to work as normal. Can anyone confirm that this is a problem? Or do I just not understand the functionality of this key combo?
