Re: [JAWS-Users] Dragging and dropping.
Hi Ron, The drag and drop feature in JAWS was never consistent and it has not been used by most people for years. The only way people get a consistent way of moving a file or folder from one place to another, is to just do the copy or cut, and paste it in the other place where you want it. Have a great one. -Original Message- From: Ron Kolesar Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2015 9:18 PM To: Jaws List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Dragging and dropping. Can we drag and drop with JAWS? If we can.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dragging and dropping
I usually do a copy and paste, But the following may give you some ideas. It is the instructions I saved from somewhere to move items on the task bar. Good luck Drag Drop on the TaskBar you can drag them to another location using the Jaws cursor: 1. Move to the program's button that you want to move. 2. Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws Cursor to the PC cursor, and then press Insert + Numpad Slash to lock the left mouse button, in other words, start holding it down. 3. Press Numpad Plus to switch back to using the PC cursor, and then press either Left Arrow or Right Arrow the number of times which is the number of positions which you want to move the program either to the left or right respectively. This moves the PC cursor to the position where you want the program to end up. 4. Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, and press Insert + Numpad Slash to unlock the left mouse button, in other words, stop holding it down. 5. Finally, press Numpad Plus to switch back to the PC cursor. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 6:19 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] dragging and dropping Hi, I did read somewhere, and can't remember where, that it is possible to actually drag and drop using jaws.

[JAWS-Users] Dragging and dropping
I agree that dragging and dropping is a much needed feature, some programs will only allow you to access features if you can drag and drop files into their interface. Unfortunately it appears that dragging and dropping seems to be very poorly implemented, in Jaws 8 at least. When I received some training back in 2006 from sight and Sound in the UK they told me that they were unable to support training in dragging and dropping. They said that this was because the feature only actually worked in a tiny number of circumstances. The circumstances it will work applied exclusively to Windows Explorer and could not be usefully used with other programs. So it was considered not actually a useful feature to provide training in. The situation may have improved with later versions of Jaws but I have not checked this out. NVDA, the freeware screenreader provides the ability to hear what is under the mouse cursor and there is some audible feedback when you move the mouse about the screen. You may be able to cobble together some techniques using these NVDA features but I have not tried this.

I have checked in with all of the help resources I can find, and have still had no success. First I use the JAWS cursor and move to the item I want to select. The help files then say to use the jaws key plus control plus 8 (I'm on a laptop), and imply that this should give me some kind of drag-and-drop mode. It would then seem that I should be able to move the selected item around using Alt plus shift plus the arrow keys, but I haven't had any luck getting any of this to work. Is there something I'm missing? I have found precious little information on how to actually do this, just a brief description of the commands themselves. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dragging and dropping
The sites I've encountered this problem are fantasy sports sites (both Yahoo and CBS Sportsline) where the pages in question are behind passwords, so I can't really point to an example very easily. It is not a matter of selecting multiple entries from a list box. They seem to want me to select an item from some kind of list (*not* an HTML list) and drag items up or down to change their priority or position in the list. It's completely a visual thing, I imagine. The way it's described, if there are four items, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, and you wanted to put Delta second, you would take your mouse, click on Delta and drag it up to between Alpha and Beta. When you release it, the site would reorder it so it would now go Alpha, Delta, Beta, Gamma. I have complained to the sites, but haven't yet had any useful response.

I think that JAWS provides feedback when using the Control key as well as INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH. What you are describing is the expected behavior for Left Mouse Lock (INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH).

[JAWS-Users] Dragging and dropping
Hi all, I have recently become stuck when web sites require me to drag and drop items to reorder them in a list, for example. I have checked in with all of the help resources I can find, and have still had no success. First I use the JAWS cursor and move to the item I want to select. The help files then say to use the jaws key plus control plus 8 (I'm on a laptop), and imply that this should give me some kind of drag-and-drop mode. It would then seem that I should be able to move the selected item around using Alt plus shift plus the arrow keys, but I haven't had any luck getting any of this to work. Is there something I'm missing? I have found precious little information on how to actually do this, just a brief description of the commands themselves. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dragging and dropping
What Web site? That might help us find alternative techniques for dealing with the problem. have you ever tried multi-select combo boxes? These enable you to go through a list of items in a combo box and select only some of them: it occurs to me that that might help here. You press shift-F8 to open a multi-select combo box, instead of alt-down-arrow (which you use for a single selection combo box). After entering Forms Mode, press shift-F8, to open the extendable select list. Hit spacebar on each of the items you want to select.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dragging and dropping
Highlight the folder and do a control shift v to move and then select the folder you want to move that folder to. If it is in the main folder you want to move them to, just hit your home key and it shouldsay personal folder, so you can press enter on that.
