Re: [Blind-Computing] When and how do I use the JAWS cursor?
Hi It depends on if you are using a laptop or standard keyboard, how you will access the JAWS cursor. For insta instance on a laptop one must press the caps lock followed by the letter p. On a standard keyboard the jaws cursor has its own key. The reason you may want to access the JAWS cursor is to read or interact with information that the PC cursor isn't able to get too. Sometimes one has to put the jaws cursor over an item and simulate a left mouse click. I find some programs require I access the jaws cursor and others do not. I hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] When and how do I use the JAWS cursor?
HI Tom, This explains the functions of the 4 cursors. About JAWS Cursors Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors. These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked with Windows cursors. The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications. This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons. As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press. If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights the currently selected object. The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor. The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS. The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is activated by default when entering an HTML document. The virtual PC Cursor speaks the number of frames in a document, and the number of links in the frame. You can switch between frames, and JAWS reads graphics labeled by alt tags in the HTML code. Invisible Cursor The JAWS cursor is basically the mouse cursor that is visible on screen. The invisible cursor can be moved around just like the JAWS cursor to view information. It works like the mouse cursor but can not be seen on screen or effect objects. Therefore you can not use the NumPad / (left mouse click) or NumPad * (right mouse click) on an object. It is useful to read information without disturbing the mouse cursor. It is also useful to determine colors or whatever might change when the mouse is over an object. It will not cause ToolTips to pop up. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] When and how do I use the JAWS cursor?
thanks for your info mark. I'm a pc, investigate nut, and will have a good time trying it all -Original Message- From: Mark Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2012 7:26 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] When and how do I use the JAWS cursor? Hi Tom, For me it has been trial and error. However, sometimes one is reading instructions for a program, and it asks you to click on something that you just cannot find with the normal PC cursor. Then it is a good bet you want to switch to the JAWS cursor. Then there are programs that lock the pc cursor on a particular spot on the screen and you can't move it. If you want to use that program you are going to need to use the JAWS cursor. I would recommend using the jaws key plus f2 then arrow to keyboard manager. Then press enter to open it. Next press d until you hear default. Then tab once. You will then be in a long list of commands specific to your keyboard lay out. Press J until you start hearing the commands related to the JAWS cursor. To exit This menu, do an alt f followed by x. you should land back where you started. There are a lot of interesting things one can do when they learn more commands to do with the JAWS cursor. By the way. I am mostly self-taught on the JAWS system. I have to admit though, I have asked a allot of questions on lists like this. So, I encourage you to give it a go. It can be allot of fun. God bless, Mark God Loves you!
