JAWS Power Tip: How To Open And Read Messages In Gmail With JAWS

To open a message:

1. With the Virtual cursor toggled off, navigate through messages using your UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys.

2. Press ENTER on a message to open it.

3. Press INSERT+Z to toggle the Virtual cursor on. This enables you to read the message using your arrow keys as you would any other document, which you cannot do in Gmail Standard View when the Virtual cursor is toggled off.

4. After reading the message, press INSERT+Z to toggle the Virtual cursor off. Focus is in the message list. Press DOWN ARROW to navigate to the next message, and ENTER to open it.
