[nabs-l] Jaws

[minh ha]

Jaws doesn't automatically remember where you were on a page, but one
thing you can do to minimize jumps is set a temporary place marker
(control+windows+k). It sets a marker so if your cursor moves
somewhere else, you can hit k and it will move to the place that you
set the marker. I do this a lot for pages that tend to refresh or I'm
reading a super long article.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
