Hi Brian,
Do you mean ctrl + insert + F or ctrl+ shift + F for JAWS find? The regular 
JAWS find is ctrl + JAWS key + F and not ctrl + shift + F. In the virtual 
environment, web pages, HTML pages, and PDFs simply pressing ctrl F will bring 
up JAWS find. That is a lot of instances where you can simply use that key 
command of ctrl + F. The only time I use ctrl + JAWS key + F is in a word 
document. Have a great one.

Brad,

        It's interesting how Ctrl+F and Ctrl+Shift+F work.  You are indeed 
correct that Ctrl+Shift+F gets you the JAWS find no matter where you are, and 
if you absolutely must be sure that's what you're getting that's the way to go. 
 But, Ctrl+F will also bring up JAWS find in many contexts where a native find 
command is not available in the Windows environment in question.  If memory 
serves, JAWS always announces "JAWS virtual find" when the JAWS find comes up, 
so you can tell whether your plain Ctrl+F has triggered it or not.

        Some of my clients like to minimize the triple key presses they have to 
do, so I teach them to try a straight Ctrl+F first and to listen for "JAWS 
virtual find."  Virtually all of them learn very quickly where they actually 
need that shift or don't in their daily activities when they want a JAWS find.

Brian
