In order for a webpage to be fully "accessible", the page also needs to be usable. I have also run into circumstances where a page may have every heading tagged as such, every buttonand link labelled correctly and actionable, every graphic described, every form control usable, every custom widget operable ... yet the webpage is not easily navigable, so therefore is not accessible.

It helps me appreciate the care VFO and its predecessors have made to assign sensible key combinations for JAWS commands.

Re: [JAWS-Users] help With keystroke alt+M +jawskey
This is how I handle it. Insert Mode Jaws 18 1, Open the Settings Center in either of these 2 ways. A, Press, Insert / Jaws Key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard. B, Press, Insert / Jaws Key + F2, 2, With the Settings Center open press, control, shift , + D, to open the Settings Center Default All Applications. 3, Arrow down to, Users, right arrow to open. 4, Arrow down to, Insert Key Mode, press space bar to check this box. Here's the explanation of this option: When selected, the INSERT key functions as a sticky key. Any key pressed immediately after pressing the INSERT key is treated as if it were pressed in combination with the INSERT key. This check box is cleared by default. 5, tab to ok, press the space bar I hope it will help you. Now you don't have to stretch your fingers, smiles.

Hi George, These key strokes can be accomplished in this manor: First, with the pointer finger of your right hand, press the insert key, or JAWS key.
