        "content": "All right, thanks for confirming you\u2019re using the HumanWare **NLS eReader** in **Braille Display mode** with JAWS. I couldn\u2019t find anything *official* in the latest docs that says the usual JAWS braille \u201cPrevious/Next document window\u201d commands (like DOTS-2-3 and DOTS-5-6 chords) explicitly apply to the NLS eReader. But based on how JAWS and HumanWare displays generally work, those commands are likely supported. Here\u2019s what I found and what you should try, sharp:\n\n---\n\n## What I found in the NLS eReader / JAWS Docs\n\n- The *NLS Braille eReader User Guide* describes how to connect Via USB or Bluetooth and how to use the device as a braille display with JAWS. ([loc.gov](https://www.loc.gov/nls/services-and-resources/equipment-for-nls-materials/nls-braille-ereader-humanware-user-guide/?utm_source=openai))  \n- It does *not* explicitly list DOTS-2-3 (previous document window) or DOTS-5-6 (next document window) among its \u201ccommon keyboard commands\u201d or commands in Braille Display mode in the guide\u2019s command summary. ([loc.gov](https://www.loc.gov/nls/services-and-resources/equipment-for-nls-materials/nls-braille-ereader-humanware-user-guide/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What the general JAWS + Braille Display command set usually is\n\nMany HumanWare / Focus / APH displays use these chords inside JAWS:\n\n- Previous document window \u2192 **DOTS-2-3 Chord** ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/Content/html/jawshq/JAWS-braille-keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- Next document window \u2192 **DOTS-5-6 Chord** ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/Content/html/jawshq/JAWS-braille-keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n\u201cChord\u201d means press those DOTS **AND** the Spacebar at the same time (DOTS-2-3 + Space, DOTS-5-6 + Space), as part of the braille display input. That's standard for JAWS commands using DOT patterns. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/Content/html/jawshq/JAWS-braille-keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What you should try on NLS eReader (with Braille Display + JAWS)\n\nSince the docs don\u2019t confirm directly but typical behavior across similar setups does support it, try:\n\n- Press **Space + DOTS-2-3** together to move to the *previous document or window* (whatever\u2019s currently open: Word doc, another app window, etc.).  \n- Press **Space + DOTS-5-6** together to move to the *next document or window*.\n\nIf those don\u2019t do it, check these:\n\n1. Make sure you\u2019re in *Braille Display mode* on the eReader. The User Guide says you set this from the Main Menu \u2192 Braille Display. ([loc.gov](https://www.loc.gov/nls/services-and-resources/equipment-for-nls-materials/nls-braille-ereader-humanware-user-guide/?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Make sure JAWS is set to use the NLS eReader display in its Braille Options. ([loc.gov](https://www.loc.gov/nls/services-and-resources/equipment-for-nls-materials/nls-braille-ereader-humanware-user-guide/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Try using *JAWS Help* (Insert + 1) then search or type \u201cPrevious document window\u201d / \u201cNext document window\u201d \u2014 JAWS usually reads out what command is assigned.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to find user confirmation from people who have done this exact setup (NLS eReader + JAWS) to see whether those chords work in *actual usage*. Do you want me to look that up?"
