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.

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
