Ted, You're right that "n" will do a lot of the heavy lifting. This quick key skips over links to the next block of non-link text. I'd add the letter h for heading to your arsenal. I find that a combination of h and n gets me to the beginning, or nearby the beginning, of most articles. If I can add just one more set of quick keys, JAWS recognizes headings by level number, such as heading 1, heading 2, etc. You can get right to heading 1 by pressing 1 on the number row above the letter. To illustrate, when I go to read an article in the New York Times, I first press 1, which takes me to the title. Then I know from experience to press n until I hear the word "Skip." Here, I press n one more time. After that, it's a question of going by paragraph once or twice to the start of the text. How do you move paragraph by paragraph? With control-down arrow. Every website is different, but more and more, I'm finding a combination of 1, n and control-down arrow works pretty well. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Larson Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 1:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] is there a quick navigation command to jump to non-control text? Dear List: If I want to read an article that is on a web page, or the first occurrence of non-controlled text, is there a quick navigation command to jump to the body of the article where text is found without having to wade through all of the controls that precede it? I thought the letter n would do it, but I was wrong. Thanks.
