[gui-talk] A Strange JAWS Setting

[Mike Freeman]

Caret browsing (that's C A R E T, BTW) is used when one wishes to copy text
from a web page. It puts a movable cursor on the page that follows your
keystrokes so you can select text.

Incidentally, perhaps JAWS is misinterpreting keystrokes. I've seen this
behavior upon a few occasions. Have you killed and restarted JAWS and does
the problem persist?

Subject: [gui-talk] A Strange JAWS Setting

Hello, 

 

For some reason, suddenly whenever I'm on a website and try to go into links
mode using insert/F7, JAWS says "carret browsing on" and something about
using carret to select text.  Since I have no idea what this means I always
choose no.  I'm assuming I have something selected or not selected that I
don't know about.  I looked through the settings and could not locate what I
need to change.  

 

Is this something new with JAWS 14 or what do I need to do to correct this.
I'd like to be able to get my links lists back. 

 

Thank you.

 

And, BTW, when would I want to use carret browsing anyway?

 

Kris
