Hi All,
Below are steps for creating a
toggle keystroke for the, Accessibility Driver For Screen Capture,
and this feature is also explained.
This can only be changed in the
Settings Center Default All Applications in, the , Miscellaneous folder, #24 of
25. Not the Miscellaneous folder in, Web
/ HTML /
PDFs.
The accessibility driver is a system level driver installed
by our software that has been used for many years to provide screen information
to JAWS. This
information is known as the Off Screen Model (OSM) and is used
primarily by review cursors like the JAWS Cursor and Invisible Cursor as well as
by JAWS
scripts. As Windows 10 increasingly uses different methods of
displaying information, this legacy accessibility driver no longer works in many
cases.
Clearing this check box configures JAWS to use new API Accessibility
Monitor technology we developed in order to help overcome the missing
information
previously obtained from the Accessibility Driver.
This check
box is selected by default.
This feature has only been in Jaws
since Jaws 2018, so if you're running a Jaws version prior to J2018 don't bother
looking for this feature in the older versions.
To make a keystroke to toggle the, Use Accessibility Driver
for Screen Capture, setting on and off try the following:
1. Press, Insert + F2, to open the
list of Jaws managers, navigate to Keyboard Manager and press
enter.
2. Press the letter, D, until Jaws
reports, Default.
3. Tab 1 time into the list of
default keystrokes and find the, Toggle Screen Capture Method none,
entry.
4. Press, Alt + A, to open the
Action menu, you are on, Add Keystroke..., so press enter. The hotkey
to go directly to the, add Keystroke, option is, Control + A,.
5. You are in a edit field so enter
the keystroke you would like to assign to toggle this feature on and
off. Only type the keystroke, example: Alt, Control + K. Hold
down the Alt & Control keys and press the letter, K, and don't type anything
else but the keystroke you want to use.
6. Tab 1 time and there's a checkbox
to assign this keystroke to desktop keystrokes only, that's up to you, but it's
checked by default. Tab to, Okay and press the spacebar, you'll get a
dialogue asking if you're sure that you want to modify the,, Default.JKM, press
the spacebar on, Yes, and you're done. Now check the keystroke to make
sure it works. You should hear, Using Accessibility Driver On or, Using
Accessibility Driver Off, when invoking your keystroke.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my

astonished!
