Re: [JAWS-Users] 1 keyboard and 2 computers
The device you want is called a KVM switch. KVM stands for keyboard, video and mouse switch, and it will allow you to control two computers using one of each of those devices. Hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] 1 keyboard and 2 computers
Hi Fred, I have a KVM switch which allows me to use one mouse, one key board, one monitor, and one set of speakers and have them connected to two computers. All I have to do is push one button to switch from one computer to the other one. I have had it for many years and it workds very well. I think the cost of KVM switch cost around 20 to 30 bucks. It had all the wires on it to connect to two computers. You just plug your mouse, monitor, keyboard and speakers in to the switch. If you want to know the brand I have let me know and I will have my wife look at it and tell you what brand it is. I hope this helps. You can have both computers on and then switch between them. I have been on the phone with Microsoft Disability Line and had them on both computers at the same time. I told the guy he can do that and he tried it. So he fix both my computers at the same time and I was able to just hit the switch and go back and forth between both computers.

This happens to me too. I just press the spacebar on ok. Patti Hi Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, the results were the same when I attempted to make Internet Explorer the default browser using the control panel as when I had used the Default Programs app. I also tried changing the default browser back to Edge, which allowed me to open that browser with no dialog when I opened a link in an email. Then I used the Control Panel to again make IE the default browser. But again every time I open a link in at email I first get the dialog that says; How do you want to open this web site? When I press tab in this dialog, I Hear; use the default browser list box Internet Explorer When I press tab again I hear; Always use this app to open www.whatever check box not checked.

[JAWS-Users] How Do I Access Add-ons Residing as a FireFox Toolbar?
Hello, I’m using the beta of JAWS v18 under Windows 10 64 bit Home Edition. I like to first say how much I’m enjoying using the new Echo Mouse feature of JAWS v18. Amazing how many buttons and actionable icons JAWS v17 and earlier wasn’t reading at all do to window restrictions. One such application is the FireFox browser v48. It seems there are toolbar icons for several add-ons I have installed (Cookie Muncher, Ad Blocker Ultimate, etc.) located near the addressbar that I wasn’t aware of until now. I had to use the Echo Mouse function to slowly drag the mouse pointer around the area to the left of the addressbar to locate them. Once the mouse pointer hovered over one, a tooltip came up and JAWS spoke it with no problems. The add-on options found in these toolbar icons cannot be accessed any other way it seems. This method of navigating to these add-ons can be rather tedious and I’m hoping there is a more efficient way of accessing these toolbar icons? Does JAWS v18 have a shortcut key combination to display these icons in a listview or something? If not, is there a way I can tell Echo Mouse to start the mouse pointer position at x/y coordinance on the screen, and simply use the left and right arrow keys to quickly jump to each toolbar icon? Maybe set it to “Word” so it treats each icon as a new word making it much easier to navigate to them?
