Research It is a versatile tool that provides quick access to data while also making it easy to return to your primary task. It uses what is known as a lookup source and the Results Viewer to find information, whether it is the meaning of a word, your local weather forecast, top news stories, sports scores, directions to and information about a local business, and more. Using just a few keystrokes, you can launch Research It from any application on your computer. The following describes keystrokes, available lookup sources, and various ways to launch and use Research It. a.. Keystrokes b.. Lookup Sources c.. Examples Showing How to Use Research It d.. Changing the Default Lookup Source e.. Removing or Adding a Lookup Source f.. Troubleshooting Research It On the Fly To quickly lookup an item of interest using Research It, do the following: 1.. Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, R. The Research It dialog box appears with focus in the Word or Phrase edit combo box. 2.. Do one of the following: a.. Type a word, phrase, date, tracking number, or other item into the edit combo box, press TAB, and then select a lookup source from the list. b.. Select an item from the edit combo box history list, press TAB, and then select a lookup source from the list. c.. Press TAB to jump directly to the Lookup Source list, and then select a lookup source. (This option is useful when using a news lookup source.) 3.. Press ENTER. After a few seconds, the JAWS Results Viewer window opens and displays the search results. Note: For specific examples describing how to enter search parameters, refer to Research It Examples. Keystrokes The following briefly describes the available Research It keystrokes. Note that if JAWS is configured for Laptop Layout mode, substitute CAPS LOCK for the INSERT key. a.. INSERT+SPACEBAR, R: Opens the Research It dialog box, where you can then type a word or expression of interest, and then select a lookup source to perform your search. This can be a zip code, or city and state, or city and country that can be used with the Weather lookup tool to read a forecast, or a date that is used to view baseball or football schedules and scores, or a word to use with the Wikipedia search query to view its meaning or description. This convenient, layered keystroke provides the most efficient way to search for a term. Note: When using this keystroke, press and release INSERT+SPACEBAR, and then press R. b.. INSERT+WINDOWS Key+R: Launches Research It and uses the primary lookup source to directly show results in the Results Viewer. This keystroke bypasses the Research It dialog box. By default, Wiktionary is the primary lookup source. This means that while the cursor is on a word in a document or Web page, you can press this keystroke and quickly lookup the Wiktionary description for that word. You can always change the primary lookup source at any time using the Options button or the JAWS Settings Center, which lets you select which lookup source to use as the JAWS default or as the default for individual applications. For example, if you spend most of your day searching for or working with medical terms, the Health Search on WebMD lookup source would be a good choice to set as your default. Likewise, if your job requires that you frequently lookup UPS tracking numbers, then the UPS Tracking lookup source would be a good candidate for your primary lookup source. As you become more familiar with Research It, and as more lookup modules are created and made available to you, you will want to change the default lookup source used by JAWS, or just use a different lookup source on the fly. c.. INSERT+CTRL+WINDOWS Key+R: Functions the same as the INSERT+SPACEBAR, R keystroke. d.. INSERT+F2, R: Opens Research It from the Run JAWS Manager dialog box. It provides another way for you to select a lookup source for the word at the current cursor location. Note that this is temporary and does not change your default settings. JAWS will continue to use the primary lookup source the next time you run Research It. e.. ESC: Closes the Results Viewer window and returns to your original focus point. Lookup Sources JAWS comes with the following lookup sources. a.. Wiktionary: Provides a dictionary description of the word at the current cursor location in a document or Web page. You

Okay, Mike, This is probably as good as it's gonna get: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\16.0\MANUALS\enu In this folder you will find Keystrokes.doc, and keystrokes.txt. I didn't read every keystroke, but it seemed to be pretty complete.
