You might also consider using "n" to skip past links. Like you, I navigate webpages with the aid of h (or 1, 2, 3, etc. for heading level), but also with n. I'm glad others mentioned the JAWS key+F7 links list, which I also use, especially when the page has so many links that JAWS doesn't reliably land on the one I want.

I just tried "l" in Firefox and JAWS reported "No lists." There were links on that page. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of net bat66 Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2017 4:19 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and link shortcut and continuous reading for emails and word or text documents. i think its just the way the scripts are programmed. if you use firefox the l key will go from link to link. with i e it goes from list to list. but with window eyes both browsers will go from link to link -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2017 12:14 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and link shortcut and continuous reading for emails and word or text documents. On moving from link to link, try tabbing. With JAWS, "l" moves from list to list. I'm confused by your second question. If it's about how to get JAWS to start reading an email or document, the "say all" command is JAWS key+2 on the numpad. With email, I'll add that I typically press control-home to stop gratuitous speech and locate the top before starting "say all." If you're asking about moving page by page, I know of no way of doing so through an email message. I'm a little surprised it would come up. But in Word, I believe the keystroke is control-pagedown. I say I "believe" because I haven't found it reliable. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Crowell Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2017 2:42 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and link shortcut and continious reading for emails and word or text documents. Hi all, Well I started using Jaws regularly last week and find it fairly easy to figure out. But the help I have received from this list has been greatly appreciated. I am using windows ten the most current version of jaws on a 64 bit all in one computer. The problem I am having is there a shortcut for moving from link to link without having to use the arrow keys. I know for headers I just push the letter H and I move from header to header. So I assumed the letter L would do the same thing moving from link to link. If someone can tell me what need to do for moving from link to link it would be greatly appreciated. The other minor issue is when I open an email using Outlook 2016 I used to just push the down arrow at the top of the document and it would read the email This also is a problem with word and text documents. So basically I am wondering how to make emails and documents read a page at a time. All help is greatly appreciated.
