[JAWS-Users] Marking multiple files using jaws?
Hi All. I have an interesting question. I've tried the file manager listed on the programs page but it didn't quite do what i wanted it to do. what i'm looking for is a simple way of marking multiple files in a list individually then moving them to a folder. lets say i have 100 files and i want to mark 25 files individually and they're not in order. i can't use standard keyboard shortcuts such as shift down/up arrow as that would select the files going down/upwards in the list. so my question is simply is there an easy way of marking a number of specific files in a list? an example of this would be if in an ideal world each file was a check box and i'd just tick the ones i wanted to copy by pressing space then copy them all at the end. I hope that all makes sense and hope that someone can offer a program/sollution. Many thanks, Mo. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

To select non-contiguous files, hold down the control key and press the space bar to select the files.

Hi Mo; The only way I know of to select non-contiguous files is to start at the top of the list, arrow down the list & when you find the first file you want hold down the control key, while holding down the control key, arrow down the list while keeping the control key pressed, and pressing the spacebar on each file you want selected. After you have selected all of your files, you can cut, copy, & paste them where you want them. Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi, many thanks to all that have replied, i'll give this a try! i had suspicions that it could be to do with control but never actually knew how to try it. Many thanks, Mo.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Marking multiple files using jaws?
Go to the folder, Hit shift-f8 on the first file you want to select. Then, hold down control and arrow down. On each additional file you want to select, press spacebar. Copy to clipboard, then paste where you want it. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
