Re: [JAWS-Users] Keyboard & JAWS

[Mike B.]

Sorry Folks,

Posted the wrong

Hi All,

A little out of the ordinary, but we do need to have some fun from time to 
time!  Enjoy!

Keyboard


For a computer programming class, running Windows 7 & Jaws 18, I sat 
directly across from someone,
and our computers were facing away from each other. A few minutes into
the class, she got up to leave the room. I reached between our
computers and switched the inputs for the keyboards. She came back and
started typing and immediately got a distressed look on her face. She
called the teacher, Professor Ferrin, over and explained that no matter what 
she typed,
nothing would happen.

The teacher, Professor Ferrin, tried everything. By this time I was hiding 
behind my
monitor and quaking red-faced. I started to type, "Leave me alone!"
They both jumped back, silenced. "Whaa??", Professor Ferrin blubbered.

Then I typed, "I said leave me alone!" The kid got really upset. "I
didn't do anything to it, I swear!" It was all I could do to keep
from laughing out loud. The conversation between them and Eloquence Beginner 
Highest,
went on for an amazing five minutes.

Me: "Don't touch me!"

Her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your keys that hard."

Me: "Who do you think you are anyway?!" Etc.

Finally, I couldn't contain myself any longer and fell out of my
chair laughing. After they had realised what I had done, they both
turned beet red. Funny, I never got more than a C- in that JAWS 
certification class, & I've now been put on moderated status, if not kicked 
off the list!
Take care.

[JAWS-Users] convert html to css

[Lenny McHugh]

Is there a utility that will convert my html web page to css? I think that I 
have over 20 pages or files that would have to be manually rewritten. I 
stumble through html it would take me a very long time to try and rewrite in 
css. It would be nice if such an animal exists that it also would be jaws 
friendly. I would like to add the option for people to change both color and 
font sizes for readability.

There's a few ways to fix this.

Regarding your hidden desktop, if you press alt+B, this is a Windows
shortcut to take you to the system tray where you find the time and all the
programs running on your computer in the background.

Tabbing once from this point will take you to a button.

Not sure what it'll say for you, but mine says "Show Desktop" and pressing
enter on this button takes me directly to the desktop.

I'm also curious as to what happens when you press the Windows hotkey of
Windows+the letter M, or Windows+the letter D.  Both of these keystrokes
should take you to the desktop.

Regarding your sideways desktop or view, as you heard from someone else,
there's a shortcut key which is control+the arrow keys to rotate your
screen, but you can also do this by going to your desktop and de-selecting
anything that is currently highlighted by pressing control+spacebar.

Once you've done this, you can press your applications key or shift+F10, and
arrow down to "Display settings" and press enter.

In the resulting dialog box, tab to the combo box that says "Orientation"
and press alt+down arrow to open the choices, then arrow up to Landscape or
Portrait, depending on your preference.  Tab to the apply button and press
enter.

Once you're done, just alt+F4 out of that window.

Previous editions of Windows used to have the rotation option right in the
first context menu, so you could make the changes that way, but alas,
Windows has done away with this option.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
If you go to W10 you can not use Jaws 14. You would have to use the latest
Jaws version of 16, 17 or 18.

Mine comes up with all the new update information and notes.  How do you 
get rid of that thing?  The mail comes through just fine. I just can't 
access it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] My Desktop Is Hidden and Screen is Sideways

[Lynn White]

I wound up calling the Microsoft Disability line and they were able to 
fix it.



The computer was in tablet mode and needed to be in desktop mode and 
they changed the screen layout from portrait to landscape.  I believe 
that all this is in Settings and display.



Thanks to all who gave me pointers.

Re: [JAWS-Users] toggle combo box button

[Adrian Spratt]

I have a similar problem with another website. I tried my default browser, 
IE11, then Firefox. Fortunately for me, my third browser of choice, Chrome, 
could handle all the combo boxes. You might want to try different browsers.

This is a new state web site for filing taxes.  The problem may be with the web

it doesn't.  It is very frustrating.

After you press enter, are you then pressing alt-down arrow? Only then would 
you down arrow through the five options. At any rate, that's the normal way of 
working with a combo box. If it doesn't work, please post again.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] toggle combo box button

Hello:

 

I am using jaws 14, windows 8.1 on an hp envy.  On a state web site I am 
encountering a toggle combo box button.  When I land on it jaws says there are 
five options, use up and down arrow to choose.  When I do this nothing happens, 
if I press enter on the toggle combo box button nothing happens.
Is there a special command that will open the combo box?

 

Thanks,

Dwight Johnson

There's a few ways to fix this.

Regarding your hidden desktop, if you press alt+B, this is a Windows shortcut 
to take you to the system tray where you find the time and all the programs 
running on your computer in the background.

Tabbing once from this point will take you to a button.

Not sure what it'll say for you, but mine says "Show Desktop" and pressing 
enter on this button takes me directly to the desktop.

I'm also curious as to what happens when you press the Windows hotkey of 
Windows+the letter M, or Windows+the letter D.  Both of these keystrokes
should take you to the desktop.

Regarding your sideways desktop or view, as you heard from someone else, 
there's a shortcut key which is control+the arrow keys to rotate your 
screen, but you can also do this by going to your desktop and de-selecting 
anything that is currently highlighted by pressing control+spacebar.

Once you've done this, you can press your applications key or shift+F10, and 
arrow down to "Display settings" and press enter.

In the resulting dialog box, tab to the combo box that says "Orientation" 
and press alt+down arrow to open the choices, then arrow up to Landscape or 
Portrait, depending on your preference.  Tab to the apply button and press 
enter.

Once you're done, just alt+F4 out of that window.

Previous editions of Windows used to have the rotation option right in the 
first context menu, so you could make the changes that way, but alas, 
Windows has done away with this option.

Hope this helps.

Hi Scorpio,


I've been studying your reply and, first, thank you for it.


When I press the Windows M or B combination, nothing happens. It's like 
my screen is blank.  The only way I can do anything is to do a Windows 
search and navigate that way.

Hi Bill,


Thank you for these suggestions which should work.  In reading about the 
desktop, it looks like you have to click on something in the task bar to 
show the desktop and I'll need sighted help to do that.



I'll definitely let you guys know when it's resolved.  This latest 
Windows 10 update has definitely not been my friend on two computers, 
that's for sure.
