[JAWS-Users] JAWS/Windows Inquiry
To All JAWS Users: This is Jerry Martin. I have a question; and I apologize as the explanation is quite lengthy. I do not know if this is a JAWS issue or a Windows issue. I am using JAWS v 17, with Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. I can have several documents, JAWS and my email program open at the same time. However, for the past several days, when I use the alt tab commands, I have noticed it will only toggle between JAWS and the most recent application i.e., JAWS and Windows Live mail. Only after I close the application besides JAWS, will it bring up another application/document. Any thoughts or answers? Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS/Windows Inquiry
Could it be placing applications on multiple virtual desktops? I've seen it once where I couldn't get to an application because it was on a new virtual desktop that had been created, but that I was not aware of. There's a setting I believe related to the task bar where you can tell it when you push alt+tab to cycle between all applications regardless of what desktop they are on.

I am not sure as to the virtual desktop. This is over my head. Any further explanations would be great. -Original Message- From: Shane Hecker Sent: Monday, February 27, 2017 4:11 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS/Windows Inquiry Could it be placing applications on multiple virtual desktops?

This happens every once and awhile on one of my laptops, but once I shut it down and restart it things return back to normal. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: Monday, February 27, 2017 2:10 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS/Windows Inquiry That seemed to work for the most part.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS/Windows Inquiry
Hi Jerry, While performing the "Alt+Tab keystroke, are you holding the Alt key down while tabbing through all open windows? If you press Alt+Tab and then just let go, the default is to cycle between the last 2 windows accessed; you must continue to hold down the Alt key while pressing the Tab key and only when the desired application has focus do you let go of the Alt key. If you have been using this keystroke as described above, I would be curious as to the cause of the problem.

No, I keep the ALT key pressed as I cycle through the open programs. And like you, it is a curiosity.
