JAWS now offers the option to navigate directly to slider controls on web pages, such as the Seek slider on YouTube for rewinding or fast-forwarding a video.
By default, there is no keystroke assigned.
To assign a keystroke to navigate to the next or previous slider, do the following:
1.) From an open browser window, Press INSERT+F2, N, then ENTER. The Navigation Quick Key Manager opens.
2.) From the list of available actions, select Slider.
3.) Press TAB to move to the Edit Key Assignment button and press SPACEBAR. The Edit Quick Navigation Key Assignment dialog box opens.
4.) In the Key Assignment combo box, press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to scroll through the list of available letters and numbers that can be assigned to the action. Press ENTER after choosing an item from the list. The new key assignment now appears in the Assignment column of the Navigation Quick Key Manager dialog box.
5.) Select OK to save your change and close the dialog box. You should now be able to move to slider controls using the key you assigned.
