If you still have the phisical mouse attached, can you click the left mouse
button there, after routing JAWS to PC?
I still have mine. Does JFW, in fact, require the real presence of the
mouse, at least in some situations, for the simulated click to work at all?
Someone wrote a message elsewhere concerning WindowEyes a few weeks ago
concerning how clicking the physical mouse would work better than the
simulation in situations where the simulation didn't or wouldn't
ork. ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Using The Jaws Mouse
: I've been following the somewhat derisive series of messages concerning
: using the mouse with Jaws, and think that this subject should be given
more
: serious consideration. I wrote one list member privately (and maybe
copied
: the listserv) on my experience with Quicken 99, where the Jaws mouse
: keystrokes don't emulate the actual mouse. I'm wondering if there are
: situations in other programs where users can't accomplish a task with the
: Jaws mouse keys.
:
: Quicken 99 has a check box on the check register where a sighted user can
: click the mouse to show that checks are cleared, then reconcile the
account
: at a later time. The click of the mouse enters the lettter c into the
check
: box. After routing cursors back and forth, I could find no way to get
: either of the Jaws mouse buttons to perform this function. I have a work
: around by typing the letter c into the appropriate check box. However,
this
: experience refuted my naive assumption that a blind Jaws user could
: replicate the mouse with keystrokes. I contacted HJ tech support, but
they
: couldn't help. Can anyone on this list explain why the Jaws mouse
: keystrokes wouldn't perform the same action as my husband's mouse? More
: importantly, has anyone had a similar experience with another application?
: Based on my experience, I can understand why someone might want to use a
: mouse in conjunction with Jaws.
