Focus Keyboard Commands Overview

This section describes the keyboard command assignments for JAWS
and the Focus braille display. Once you understand this methodology,
there is no need to memorize a long list of commands. The commands
are separated into Convenience commands, JAWS commands, Windows
commands, and Braille commands. There is only one assignment pattern
for each. Focus commands are consistently based on JAWS and
Windows commands. If you are familiar with JAWS and Windows
keyboard commands, Focus commands are very easy to learn. If you
become familiar with Focus commands, JAWS and Windows keyboard
commands are also easy to learn.
Note: Some of these commands duplicate functions of the panning
buttons, rocker bars, and selector buttons, detailed earlier in this
manual.

Exceptions

The computer braille number and function key relationship does not apply
to the List System Tray Icons command, INSERT+F11 on the keyboard.
RIGHT SHIFT+K (RIGHT SHIFT+DOTS 1-3) has been assigned to this
command.
The command to open the Window List dialog, INSERT+F10, is RIGHT
SHIFT+0 (RIGHT SHIFT+DOTS 3-5-6).
Commands that have been assigned using the Convenience Commands
convention are not duplicated using the JAWS/Windows assignment
convention.
If you need to select an item from the desktop, press D (DOTS 1-4-5) to
go to the desktop, press LEFT SHIFT+SPACEBAR+RIGHT SHIFT to
enable Typing mode, then type the first letter of the desktop item you
want. For example, I for Internet Explorer.
There are other exceptions based on the availability of keys, however we
have attempted to maintain consistency with the JAWS or Windows
commands wherever possible.
