Fusion – Changes to Fusion application window

Problem

A Fusion user needs to access the menu system within the new Fusion 2026 window.

Applies to

  1. Fusion

Resolution

Iin Fusion 2025 and earlier the interface for JAWS and ZoomText appeared in separate places.  From Fusion 2026 Freedom Scientific have unified both JAWS and ZoomText into the main Fusion application window.  This results in some changes to how you can access the features.

Available menus

Using the mouse with the Fusion window is largely unchcnaged except for the addition of the Fusion menu.  However when using  the keyboard to access the menu system some things have changed.  To access the main Fusion menus in the application window press and hold the following key chords:

ALT+F = Fusion  menu
ALT+Z = ZoomText Setttings
ALT+J = JAWS Settings

Configuring Fusion interface.

The Fusion application window can be configured somewhat by the user using the steps below:

  1. Press ALT+F or click Fusion menu.
  2. Then choose Toolbar Layout or press menu accelerator key T.
  3. Then choose one of the sub menu options as desired:

    Show the tabs
    Show tabs as menus
    Show Braille tab
