[JAWS-Users] not understanding how to drag and drop with jaws
I read up on this and I know the key command of insert, control and num pad slash, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there a detailed tutorial or can someone walk me through every step? When I'm in the folder that needs items dragged i get a message to go to the folder where you drop the items but I can't get it to drop. Do you select the folder first and then just go to the folder and drop it there without first using the jaws keystrokes in the folder I want to drag? In other words, I select what needs to be dragged, stay in that folder and do the jaws command. Then I go to the empty folder and do the command a second. I guess my thinking is you have to do it once for dragging items and then another time in the drop folder. Please help.

go to your folder, arrow down to a file you want moved, hit cntl + x, to cut it, then go to where you want it, and hhit cntl + v, to paste it On 7/21/14, Joanne houseofmusic3...@gmail.com wrote: I read up on this and I know the key command of insert, control and num pad slash, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Re: [JAWS-Users] not understanding how to drag and drop with jaws
drag and drop is basically for sighted users who use the mouse and klick on things instead of using the keyboard. for us blind users, we usually use cut/copy and paste. see Tom's answer. just to add, ctrl is an abreviation for control key, control+x is to cut, control+c is for copy and control+v is to paste. these keystrokes are windows commands, not JAWS commands, which are generic/global to what ever program you use in windows. - Original Message - From: Joanne houseofmusic3...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 12:51 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] not understanding how to drag and drop with jaws I read up on this and I know the key command of insert, control and num pad slash, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
