[Athen] [EXT]Re: JAWS keyboard command for reading sentences

The command "Say next sentence" does not move you to the next sentence, or at least it didn't use to do so. Not sure if that makes a difference, but it would to me if I were trying to proof read.

Hi Karen,
They were changed.
Alt+Up/Down arrows do a lot of interacting with combo boxes in particular and therefore are not a good choice.
In desktop layout they appear to be:
Alt+NumPadMinus=SayPriorSentence
Alt+NumPadPlus=SayNextSentence

IN laptop layout they are JAWSKey+y and n.

Also remember that you can use the Command Search tool found in the JAWSKey+F2 dialog to look up stuff. There a lot of commands, hard to remember them all especially when they move them.
Hth.

Morning!
I've been frustrated by this for a long time and figured it was time to ask for help! LOL
JAWS used to have keyboard commands for reading sentence by sentence.
Alt + NumPad 5 with the NumLock turned off still seems to work but the keyboard commands for moving to and reading the next sentence or previous sentence are either missing or have changed.
They used to be Alt + Up Arrow or Alt + Down Arrow respectively.
Did we lose this ability or have the keyboard commands changed? As someone who writes and edits content, not being able to move sentence by sentence is frustrating.
I'm using the current/up to date version of JAWS.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Karen
