[NFBCS] JAWS with Bootstrap modal dialogs

[Doug Lee]

If you can reach the link with Tab and especially without the JAWS virtual cursor being active, and if Space
and Enter both still fail, you might try these things:

1. Type Insert+3 before Space or Enter to pass the keystroke through JAWS directly to the dialog. OR

2. RouteJAWSToPC and press the JAWS LeftMouseButton key, the key immediately to the right of NumLock on a full
keyboard or JAWSKey+8, on the number row, in the JAWS Laptop keyboard layout.

Hello,

 

On occasion, there is a website I need to access for work. To get into it, I
need to select one of the options on a login page, and once the selection is
made, I can use the site. The problem is that the options are in a Bootstrap
modal dialog and when I press either the spacebar or Enter to choose the one
I need while JAWS is active, nothing happens. If I unload JAWS, the selected
link is activated, but I don't know if I chose the right one, or any at all,
until I turn JAWS back on. I am using JAWS 2022, but this has also been an
issue under v2021. Does anyone know of a workaround so I can keep JAWS
running?

 

Thanks,

Ryan Stevens
