I use JAWS (at about 95% of time) and sometimes Zoomtext to see, what JAWS
doesn't tell me. But both run paralell on my system.

My sighted colloegues recognise my focus via visual indication of ZoomText
(Red rect around the focussed in default).

Very helpful for cooperation with sighted collegues and sensibilisations.
But not always working. Didn't try to reconstruct issues yet.

And I couldn't try the 2018 Fusion of Jaws and Zoomtext.

Betreff: [WebAIM] visual scrolling with screen readers

I often share my screen reader findings with sighted developers. Sometimes
focus is not visually on the screen so the sighted folks don’t know where I
am on the page.

Is there a prescribed method for jumping visual focus to the same point that
screen reader focus is?

In JAWS I thought JAWSKey+ctrl+delete was supposed to do this but it doesn’t
always work.

Any suggestions for consistently showing where screen reader focus is?

Much appreciated,
David
