Ok, this could be a stupid question, but does anyone have a list of Jaws hotkeys for msn? I downloaded messenger the other day, but haven't worked out all the jaws keys and stuff.
Thanks!
No, but i'll bet if you type insert+h you can find them out.
I also think there is specific help for msn.

hi! well i think it depends on what kind of messager you have. i use windows messager and you don't need any hot keys or skrips to use it. but if it's like messager plus or something like that then i'm not sure but i'm pritty sure you don't need skrips for that either. some times it's good to just fiddle around with it and see what workks.
Ok cool. Thanks.
Yes, there is a help topic for MSN in Jaws help. Also, I agree with doing Insert H and getting the list of hotkeys while focus is on your MSN contact list.

HTH!
Oh cool! Thanks for that!
Good stuff, which version of jaws?
Bob
If you're running a JAWS version under 8, the control scroll lock commands for seeing who signed in should be replaced with alt shift f12. At least, in JAWS 7. And I think it's alt scroll lock f12 or alt shift f12, not control. I could be wrong, though.
Yup jaws version 8.0.423.
