I've finally had a few moments to get to the specifics of activating a button/submenu in the control bar across the bottom of the screen that shows up when you download and save a file or files. One button/submenu gets placed on that control bar for each file you've downloaded, and the control bar stays there until you intentionally dismiss it by going to the far right using the END button and activate the close button.
As previously reported, SHIFT+F6, either once or repeated depending on where your focus currently is, eventually lands you in the control bar. What you hear announced as you land on each button is the name of the specific file you downloaded and "submenu." The way I opened the context menu in NVDA for a given button in this bar is by hitting INS+NumPad Slash, which routes the mouse to the object NVDA has focus on, then hit NumPad Star, which right clicks and causes the context menu to pop up. I then just use the up arrow key to traverse the menu items until I hit the "Always open with System Viewer" or "Always open with Adobe Reader," depending on your platform. If I'm reading the JAWS documentation correctly the INS+NumPad Plus, route PC Cursor to JAWS Cursor, should place mouse focus above the button and the command for right click in JAWS is also NumPad *. If my reading of the "For cursors and Mouse" section of the JAWS Keystrokes list is incorrect please let me know. No direct reference is made to the mouse proper other than when giving the left and right mouse button clicks. But I believe that "Route PC Cursor to JAWS Cursor" in that context has to be the same as what NVDA documentation describes as, "Move the mouse pointer to the current navigator object." After I've selected the "Always open" option for a file of any given file type any subsequent left clicks on links for files of that type cause the control bar to show up again showing the status of the file download, but the moment the download is complete the file itself gets opened in the system viewer for that file type.
