Re: [JAWS-Users] Snagging a URL
Hi Dan, It sounds like your address bar has somehow moved,and that is why it is not performing as expected. Try this: 1. While in Internet Explorer, go to the view menu, and then open the toolbars sub-menu. 2. Arrow to, lock the toolbars, and if it is checked, uncheck it. 3. Route Jaws to PC, and then go to the top of the page, and then search with the Jaws cursor until you find the word address. 4. With the cursor positioned on any part of the word, address, do a double left mouse click. 5. Now, return to the PC cursor, and then try the F6 key to see if this puts the URL into focus. 6. If this works, return to the view menu, and then the toolbars sub-menu, and check, lock the toolbars. If you cannot focus on the word address, you may need sighted assistance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Snagging a URL
Rick has come closest so far. Thanks Rick. Like I said, after I hit alt-d or f6, hitting control-c says nothing selected If I then hit control-a and then control-c, it again says, nothing selected. Trying to paste at that point is fruitless, since nothing was selected. I have tried, and nothing pastes. using the JAWS cursor, I can see the address, but need to click on it if I want to select it. I tried the instructions that Rick gave, and they worked, however, as a test, I then closed IE, and tried again, and no joy. I got the nothing selected warning again. I will play around with this some more since it seems promising. But as configured, alt-d and f6 do not work at all for me at this point in time. Either my address bar isn't where something expects it to be, or some other setting in IE is causing the address bar not to play nicely with this keystroke. Yes, address bar is checked in my view / tool bar menu. On Wed, 9 Feb 2011, Rick Justice wrote: Hi Dan, It sounds like your address bar has somehow moved,and that is why it is not performing as expected. Try this: 1. While in Internet Explorer, go to the view menu, and then open the toolbars sub-menu. 2. Arrow to, lock the toolbars, and if it is checked, uncheck it. 3. Route Jaws to PC, and then go to the top of the page, and then search with the Jaws cursor until you find the word address. 4. With the cursor positioned on any part of the word, address, do a double left mouse click. 5. Now, return to the PC cursor, and then try the F6 key to see if this puts the URL into focus. 6. If this works, return to the view menu, and then the toolbars sub-menu, and check, lock the toolbars. If you cannot focus on the word address, you may need sighted assistance.

Give that man a cigar. Rick, I am not absolutely certain that my mucking around helped or not, but while trying your suggestion again, I was having trouble finding the address with the JAWS cursor, to click on it. I decided to hit f11 for full screen, and suddenly I could see the address, did the whole uncheck lock the tool bar thing, and recheck it, and now alt-d works consistently.
