Enabling hover help for screen readers

The CICS® IA plug-in for CICS Explorer uses hover help to provide you with extra information, however tooltips might not be readily available when using a screen reader such as JAWS.

To enable JAWS to read hover help when using the CICS IA plug-in, follow the steps below:
  1. Press Ctrl + Insert + number pad minus to tie the JAWS and PC cursors together. The JAWS cursor will follow the PC cursor as it moves around the screen.
  2. To save this setting across sessions press Ctrl + Insert + number pad minus quickly twice.
  3. If JAWS is reading out too much information when reading the hover help or application dialogues, press Ctrl + Insert + number pad minus again to turn off tooltip reading.
