Release Notes for R2006a
JAWS Stops Speaking
When many desktop components are open, JAWS with MATLAB sometimes
stops speaking.
Ifthis happens, close most ofthe desktop components, exit MATLAB, and
restart.
Command Output Not Read
In the MATLAB Command Window, JAWS does not automatically read the
results of commands.
To read command output, first select File > Preferences > Command
Window, select the option Use arrow keys for navigation instead of
command history recall, and cUck OK. Then, in the Command Window, press
the arrow keys to move to the command output and use JAWS keystrokes to
read the output.
With this preference set, you cannot use arrow keys to recall previous
commands. Instead use the following key bindings:
• Windows key bindings:
- Previous history: Ctrl+up arrow
- Next history: Ctrl+down arrow
• Emacs key bindings:
- Previous history: Ctrl+p
- Next history: Ctrl+n
To retum to using the up and down arrow keys to recall previous commands,
clear the preference.
Some GUI Menus Are Treated as Check Boxes
For some GUIs (for example, the figure window), menus are treated by JAWS
as though they are check boxes, whether or not they actually are.
You can choose a menu item for such GUIs by using accelerator keys (e.g.,
Ctrl+N to select New Figure), if one is associated with a menu item. You can
also use mnemonics for menu navigation (e.g., Alt+E).
Note that check boxes that you encounter by tabbing through the elements of
a GUI are handled properly.
