Hi all!
Since the new norm is to be working from home and I'm now on my 4th week of
working from home and we use teams a lot I've discovered a lot of things that
makes teams and jaws really nice and easy to use.
1. The first thing is get your hands on the key board shortcuts. They make
your life very nice. Whe I started out in teams I use to tab around a lot. It
drove me nuts. But now with the short cut keys and a bit of work I no longer
tab much at all.
Use the control key with numbers 1 through 5. The important one is control + 2
this puts the chat recent list in focus.
One can jump back and forth through you recent chats by holding down the alt
key and hit the up or down arrow keys. Its great. Sure beats the tabbing back
to the chat list and then arrowing up and down until you find the person you
want to chat too. Just use the alt and up or down arrow keys and as the screen
changes to another person on the recent chat window it will tell you who it is.
Enter in your chat messages in the chat message window and when you hit enter
it just sends it. When the person writes back the notification will tell you
what they said. But if you didn't catch it then shift tab from the chat input
window and you can arrow up and read the conversation.
The other thing that drove me nuts was the difficulty of setting my status. I
would tab around until the cows came home sometimes I would find the area to
change m my status and sometimes not.
Well again the short cut keys come to the rescue.
Control + the slash jumps you into the command window area, and so you can
either cursor down, or just type the word available and hit enter and the
status will get updated and it tells you, or to see the options use the down
arrow keys to see the choices and hit enter on the one you want.
Another important key stroke is the control + period key this will show the
keyboard short cuts.
The only problem I've encountered with teams is when I switch over to it from
another program sometimes jaws is messed up. So a quick windows key and up
arrow to maxiumize the window often fixes this, or if I'm not sure a control +
2 to pull the recent chat window helps things as well.
Sorry about the long email. But I wanted to give or outline things that I've
discovered while using teams. It works very very nicely with jaws.
Take care everyone and have a good day.
