[Trainer-Talk] Selecting text that is not contiguous in word with JAWS

[David Goldfield]

This is a very good suggestion for copying and pasting noncontiguous blocks of text. NVDA has a similar capability but it requires an addon known as Clip Contents Designer.

I also wrote a blog post discussing these capabilities, focusing on JAWS at

Hello,
JAWS has its own clipboard function that allows one to copy noncontiguous
text.
The keystroke is, Windows/Insert/C.
You select the text that you want, with the above keystroke, go to the next
section that you want to copy and do the same keystroke and now both items
will be on the clip board. You can do this as many times as you like. Once
you have all of the text on your clip board pasted and would like to clear
it, just copy a section of text as normal with Control/C and You will be
asked if you want to override the data on the clipboard, just press yes and
you can start making more selections with the JAWS copy feature.

One way to clear the clipboard is to select something and then use the
normal copy function, Control/C and you will be asked if you

Has anyone been able to successfully select text that is not contiguous
using the mouse functions in JAWS? Can you tell me how you did it?

Thank you.
