The keystrokes listed here are in tables and are grouped by headings. Major
divisions are level two headings. Use the JAWS List of Headings (INSERT+F6)
or the navigation quick key, H, to move quickly to the section
of your choice. You can also use the navigation quick key, T,
to move from one table to the next. Use the SHIFT key in
combination with most navigation quick keys to move backwards.
New JAWS Keystrokes
Layered Keystrokes
Layered keystrokes are keystrokes that require you to first press and release
INSERT+SPACEBAR, and then press a different key to perform a function
in JAWS. Layered keystrokes are easy to use and remember, and they do not
interfere with native keystrokes within applications.

Web Pages and HTML
Navigation quick keys make it faster and easier to move
around on a Web page and anywhere else the Virtual Cursor is active. These
commands are all assigned to keys on the main part of the keyboard and are easy
to remember and use.
Many of the navigation quick keys are also available while using Say All on a
Web page. The commands to move by heading, paragraph, form control, table, list,
same or different element, next element, and to move to non-link text all work
while you are using the Say All command.
New beginning with JAWS 10 is the ability to configure navigation
quick keys. To open the Navigation Quick Key manager, do the following:
- Press INSERT+F2 to open the list of JAWS managers.
- Press N until you find Navigation Quick Keys in the
list of managers.
- Press ENTER. The Navigation Quick Key manager dialog
box opens.
The Navigation Quick Key manager allows you to change quick key assignments
or delete them.
NOTE: The keys available for editing when you
open the Navigation Quick Key manager depend on the program in the foreground
when the manager is opened. For example, the availability of navigation quick
keys varies in number, and in some cases, function, in Outlook 2007 or later,
Microsoft Word, and Internet Explorer, depending on the program in use at the
time.
