Problem
A JAWS user would like information on using layered keystrokes to access certain JAWS features.
Applies to
- JAWS
Resolution
Since there are many more functions available to JAWS than there are usable hotkeys, some functions are grouped below a layered hotkey. The layered keystroke can be thought like a menu access by a single letter hotkey with further options accessed in sequence to a related function.
Using a layered keystroke
To enter layered key mode one must press JAWSKey+SPACEBAR followed by a letter, an would be Z to launch alternate directory mode. Other layered hotkeys have further options below the initial hotkey.
