The Jaws landmark navigation key command is semicolon and not slash. Thanks Terry for the correction.

Hi Hadi,



For navigating between landmarks in JAWS, don't you use ; (semi-colon)?

Google has added ARIA landmark to the google search result page. This will make the navigation within the page easier for screen reader users. This will allow screen reader users to navigate to the major sections of the page and bypass all the unwanted info. They have so far Search, Main, and Navigation Landmarks.



Use / (slash) for the next landmark if you are using Jaws.

Use d (letter d) for the next landmark if you are using NVDA.



Enjoy it.

Hadi
