[Rwp] JAWS and Object Mode

[Jim Snowbarger]

For those few of you on this list who may be using Jaws.

 

Certainly, JAWS does make use of UIA or MSAA in dealing with aplications
that support it.

But, people often think that, if you need to interact manually with UIA
objects, or MSAA objects, NVDA is the only way to do that.

I had added some of this to HotSpotClicker, and to my own suite of scripting
tools.

But, JAWS has had this capability within itself for several versions now.
And, even I didn't realize it. If you want to move around in the object
tree, and activate or review such objectgs, check out the Touch cursor
support.

I missed this too, because it was called the Touch cursor, and I don't have
a touch screen.  I thought it had only to do with touch screens.  And, it
does.  But, it is more than that.  Even if you don't use a touch screen, you
can poke around in object land using the touch cursor, especially in
Advanced mode, and you'll be tweaking objects just like the bvig boys..

Check it out.
