Hiya all,
As discussed at the meeting this morning, for those who are not using
screen readers and are not subscribed. Here's the email from Sharon Lyons
on the Google suite, starting with gmail shortcuts. I've found this very
useful already. She does talk about using gmail shortcuts with screen
readers too. If you would like to subscribe, send her an email here
<info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
I find her website <http://sharons-shortcuts.ie> quite handy too.
Enjoy,
Monique
Thank you for being on the Sharon's Shortcuts Mailing list.

*If you need any help just email us!*
As the lockdown eases, we all still need to stay safe and stay at home
where possible.
Our new normal means more reliance on technology for working, studying and
communicating from home.
We're here to help.
Drop us an email with any questions you may have.
And if we can't help, we probably know someone who can.

Continuing with our at Web-based Gmail shortcuts...
The Gmail layout is very similar to most other email layouts. You have
folders on the left hand side and a list of messages on the right hand side
(which takes up most of the screen).
When you go to Gmail, you are placed on the list of messages. You can use
the *Up and Down Arrow keys* to move through the list, and Enter to open a
message.
Press the *Left Arrow key* to move to the list of folders.
As with the list of messages, you can use the *Up and Down Arrow keys* to
move through the list of folders and Enter to open a folder.
Press the *Right Arrow key* to move back to the list of messages in that
folder.
If you get lost at any point, press *G then I* to go back to the Inbox.
Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox work the same as above.
*Note:* Make sure that you have keyboard shortcuts switched on, if you
haven't already. To do this, press Shift + ? for the list of Gmail
shortcuts. Then press Tab and press Enter on the Enable link. You only have
to switch on Gmail keyboard shortcuts once on your account in your chosen
Web browser.
*Note:* If you use a screen reader, you may need to switch off the "virtual
cursor". Press Insert (or Caps Lock) + Z in JAWS or Insert (or Caps Lock) +
Space in NVDA.
