[GUI-Talk] Emojis with the Latest JAWS 2021

[Raul A. Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hi Ted, it certainly worked. Also just so everyone knows, this is not 
specifically a Jaws feature. Pressing WINDOWS+Period is a Windows hot 
key to bring up the emoji panel. This means that the same feature will 
work with Jaws, NVDA, and Narrator. I have written this message using 
Thunderbird on Windows 10 and NVDA for the screen reader and the 
following winking face emoji was done this way. 😉

Prior to the most recent update, released yesterday, I was able to press Windows period to bring up the emoji grid and then use my left, right, up, or down arrow keys to focus on the emoji I wanted. JAWS would say the emoji I was focused on as I arrowed to it.

The two people with whom I spoke at Vispero could not duplicate my issue.😊 This is not a criticism; merely a factual statement. We're still working on this issue.
