Accessibility features

Keyboard navigation when using JAWS
The Workplace XT application includes Java™ applets; in order for JAWS to process text on a Java applet, you must first install Java Access Bridge.
Virtual PC Cursor mode
In Virtual PC Cursor mode, the JAWS screen reader intercepts standard keyboard navigation keystrokes. If you have difficulty with specific keys when JAWS is enabled, preface the navigation keystrokes with Insert+3. For example, to open a document that has click focus, press Insert+3, then press Enter.
Pressing Enter to activate the default action
On a user interface where you can press Enter to activate the default action after pressing Enter to make a selection, JAWS causes the second Enter to be ignored. To activate the default action, you must tab to the button corresponding to the default action and then press Enter. For example, when you add a document, you have the option to select a document class. After tabbing to the desired class, you can press Enter to select the class. When not using JAWS, you can press Enter again to activate the OK button and accept your selection. When using JAWS, you must first tab to the OK button before pressing Enter again.
JAWS Links List
When using the JAWS Links List, two entries are displayed for each item in the list view.
  • Select the entry ending with "-select" to select the item. This allows you to perform actions from the Actions menu on the selected item.
  • Select the entry ending with "-open" to open or view the item.
Tools and Actions menus
When opening the Tools and Actions menus, JAWS selects the first item in the menu and does not read the content. To have JAWS read the content, press Insert+Tab and the text next to the current cursor position is read. After navigating through menu items once or twice using Tab or Ctrl+Down arrow, JAWS starts reading.
Filtered choice lists
If the choice lists allows you to filter the list based on your input, the screen reader announces the first available choice in the list. You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the list, and the space bar to select an item from the list.
