It's been quite a long time since I had to use it; but when I did, I found that there were times JAWS didn't speak as I navigated. (Perhaps this was way before 2004, like 1999 or 2000.)

I had to use this to select files and folders in a program to write data files to a DVD before it was supported directly in Windows Explorer. Below is a short description of how to use this keystroke from the JAWS Help file. Drag and Drop (CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH) This command is used to drag items from one location and drop them in another. Position the JAWS Cursor on the item you wish to move and press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH. You can leave the JAWS Cursor active, or you can switch to the PC Cursor. JAWS will keep speaking as you navigate. Once you have positioned the JAWS or PC Cursor in the location to which you would like to move the item, press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH again, and the item will be moved to the position of the active cursor.
