JAWS Power Tip: How To Use The New Quick Navigation Option for Sliders

Released: 10/2/2024

 

  _____  



  _____  

JAWS now offers the option to navigate directly to slider controls on web
pages, such as the Seek slider on YouTube for rewinding or fast-forwarding a
video.

By default, there is no keystroke assigned.

To assign a keystroke to navigate to the next or previous slider, do the
following:

1.) From an open browser window, Press INSERT+F2, N, then ENTER. The
Navigation Quick Key Manager opens.

2.) From the list of available actions, select Slider.

3.) Press TAB to move to the Edit Key Assignment button and press SPACEBAR.
The Edit Quick Navigation Key Assignment dialog box opens.

4.) In the Key Assignment combo box, press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to scroll
through the list of available letters and numbers that can be assigned to
the action. Press ENTER after choosing an item from the list. The new key
assignment now appears in the Assignment column of the Navigation Quick Key
Manager dialog box.

5.) Select OK to save your change and close the dialog box. You should now
be able to move to slider controls using the key you assigned.

The Power of JAWS!
