Cursor types
The following JAWS cursor types enable users to access HTML pages:
- Virtual PC Cursor — The main focus of the active program; accessed by pressing Num Pad+ (the numeric keypad and the plus sign). BMC Remedy AR System uses this cursor type.
- JAWS Cursor — Corresponds directly with the mouse pointer; accessed by pressing Num Pad - (the numeric keypad and the minus sign). BMC Remedy AR System does not use this cursor type.
- PC Cursor — Press Insert+Z to toggle the PC cursor on or off. When this option is off, you are in Forms mode. BMC Remedy AR System does not use this cursor type.
Most interactions on the Web use Forms mode or Non-Forms (Virtual PC Cursor) mode. By default, forms open in Non-Forms (Virtual PC Cursor) mode. In Non-Forms mode, the entire page is read when the form is initially displayed to provide an idea of the page layout. You can tab to the fields (or press Insert+F7 to show a list of links). To type into an edit field, first press Enter, which puts you into Forms mode. You can then enter data into the field. You can continue to tab to fields to type in data. Press Num Pad+ to exit Forms mode.
As you traverse the fields in a form by using the TAB key, JAWS reads the field label and information about the field.
Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
