I suppose I should listen to the web&R but since I haven't yet, you explained left, right up and down so using the touch curser how would you activate an option after swiping to it.
Just tap the screen once? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Moore Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 7:32 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Hi, You can learn a lot about the touch cursor on the FS web site in the free webinars that were done on Windows 8.1. Navigating apps and using the touch cursor is really explained well in these webinars. Basically, you turn it on by pressing Shift+numb pad + or Shift+Caps lock+Semi colon, with the laptop keyboard layout turned on in the JAWS basic dialog. When it is on, right arrow is like swiping right with your finger, and the left arrow is like swiping left. The up and down arrow, is like swiping up or down. Take care. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Washington Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 7:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Thanks. I will look into the Jaws touch cursor. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Moore Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 5:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Hi, That is what I would do. You can use the JAWS touch cursor if you have a touch screen or not, so you can navigate the universal apps with the JAWS touch cursor right from the keyboard. Good luck on finding your new notebook. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 4:12 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Huh? Whether you want touch or not, I have one here from HP and I dooubt it adds much to the weight. Some of the gestures do enhance the convenience. ----- Original Message ----- From: Reed Poynter To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch vs non-touch screen notebook computer Hello, I am also looking for a new laptop. I have decided that I don't really want/need a touch screen, they add a lot of weight and are more expensive. So, I'm going for a non-touch screen model.

I don't mind Windows 10 but am wondering whether Jaws 17 latest works well with a touch screen laptop or should I look for one with a non-touch screen?
