Using the JAWS cursor is brilliant for moving around the screen, navigating away from the focus for example. It is like moving the mouse around and asking JAWS to tell you what you are moving over.

With the NUM LOCK off, hit the minus sign or dash on the number pad, top row key farthest to the right. JAWS will then say, "JAWS cursor." Given my own unadventurous use of JAWS, I've never really figured out what switching to the JAWS cursor is good for, so I also await a meaningful learning experience. Cheers!
