Hey all! I was curious how do jaws user drag and drop?

I know how to do it with window-eyes, with limited success. So, I was wondering if it was easier with jaws.

The thing I don't get... If you have 2 windows open and you want to drag and drop from window to window... How to make sure both windows are on the screen at the same time. Not really sure how a blind person would do this.

And dragging and dropping is different from cut and paiste, right?

Hi, press control insert numpad slash. it will say place the jaws or pc cursor in the location and press again to drag and drop. to make sure the windows are both there, you have to "restore" them if possible and use the jaws cursor. I think.
for copying/cutting and pasting, there the same thing.
HTH!

personally I prefer the copy/paste method.
Just alt-tab to cycle the windows.
