I can elaborate on this. Note that the term "bookmarks" in Chrome means the same thing as "favorites" in IE.
First, the fastest way I've found to get to book marks is to press alt, down arrow once, then press b. From there, as David says, right arrow into the main bookmarks menu, which includes bookmarks created in Chrome, and arrow up or down through the options. However, first-letter navigation through this main bookmarks menu is risky. When entering this menu, do not press "I." It seems to take me to the bookmarks bar, which I find inefficient and confusing. This impairs the value of using bookmarks in this list, at least for me, because I use first-letter navigation in my IE favorites list all the time. However, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Chrome makes it very easy to import IE favorites. In the main bookmarks menu, arrow to "Import book marks and settings..." Press enter and start tabbing. Now that I've imported my IE settings, I now arrow down through the main bookmarks menu to "Imported from IE " to access the favorites/bookmarks I've created over the years. At that point, right arrow twice to enter the IE favorites/bookmarks list. First-letter navigation works fine here. The bookmarks shortcut, control-shift-b, doesn't immediately work, and I'm confused by what it actually does do. This so-called bar, once I finally get there, requires tabbing, and first-letter navigation doesn't work. I've unchecked "Show bookmarks bar" by pressing enter on this main bookmarks menu item. Short version: for now, I'll avoid creating bookmarks in Chrome, even though control-d makes it easy to do, and rely on my imported IE favorites. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Moore via Jfw Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2015 1:54 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

It is saved right then. Now, to Look and open your book marks, just press alt and down arrow through the chrome menu until you hear book marks. Next, press right arrow to open up your book marks, and just press enter on the one you want to open up. I will tell you about other features as I figure them out and some time this week, I hope to do an audio tutorial for Chrome. Take care. -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt via Jfw Sent: Saturday, November 7, 2015 12:18 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Adrian Spratt Subject: RE: Chrome and bookmarks/favorites Thank you, Ann. Needless to say, it works. However, with IE as my default, naturally when I click a favorite, IE takes over. I won't make Chrome my default until various problems are solved. It would be nice to find Chrome "fully" accessible because it runs much better than the other browsers, but I'm not yet convinced. I hope David Moore can address bookmarks and other issues. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ann Byrne via Jfw Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2015 11:48 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Ann Byrne Subject: Re: Chrome and bookmarks/favorites In windows 7, Favorites can be accessed by pressing Windows key, then tab, then enter, then 'f' or down arrowing to the favorites list. This should be independent of your browser. So if you just want one favorite, it might be faster to go that way.
