[Trainer-Talk] Jaws input questions on Focus 40 blue fifth gen braille display

Sat Jul 3 04:10:27 UTC 2021

I would like to add that users of Leasey<http://www.leaseycentral.com/> have access to an easier and more intuitive interface to allow the Focus, including the ElBraille, to control the PC. Leasey's interface is much easier than the one supplied with JAWS. Please note that Leasey only works with JAWS or Fusion with JAWS running. It isn't available with other screen readers or on other platforms. The above link will take you to the Leasey home page which should answer any questions you might have about it along with providing demonstrations.

Dear Jason,

Thanks for reaching out with your questions. Yes, the focus commands for emulating the Windows+D and Alt+Tab keystrokes are indeed mentioned on the user's guide. Depending on where you look online, the user guide that is from the official Freedom Scientific page is below:

https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freedomscientific.com%2FContent%2FDocuments%2FManuals%2FFocus%2FFocus40Blue%2FFocus-40-Blue-Online-Users-Guide.htm%23commandsoverview&data=04%7C01%7C%7C24d70e8bb474483720bd08d93cd80387%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637607720737104455%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=JFFkoqDVkN0wLhC7c6yLN4KVpFeTsmTRaYS25OvtGcI%3D&reserved=0

In the above link, if you look under the "Commands Overview" section, there are subsections for modifyer keys, windows commands, Braille commands, ETC. they will be explained and listed in tables which are neatly laid out for JAWS to read. I would take a look at this page to learn how to simulate the keystrokes you need and to refer to.

Hope this helps. If you have further questions, let me know.

Take care,

Humberto

> Hello all. I just had a question on the focus 40 fifth generation braille display. I'm looking at the online userguide with all the Jaws input commands on the focus 40, but there are a couple of items I do not see on it. Firstly, I am not sure how to perform the windows D function with the display Perkins keys to go to the desktop. Next, I can't figure out how to press the key combination to perform the windows key function, the one that takes us to the search bar to search for all of our apps. Lastly, I am not able to simulate an alt tab on the Perkins keyboard. Do any of you know what any of these keystrokes are or if they do or don't exist? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
