For example:  \n  \u2022 *She felt confident about her answer.* ([oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/confident?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 *He gave a confident performance.* ([education320.com](https://education320.com/files/wdpdf/2595.confident.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n- There *is* a related adverb \u2014 **confidently** \u2014 which modifies verbs or describes *how* something is done: *She smiled confidently.* ([oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/confident?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Key Distinctions\n\n- You use **confident** when describing someone or something:  \n  *\u201cShe is a confident speaker.\u201d* ([collinsdictionary.com](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/confident?utm_source=openai))\n\n- You use **confidently** when describing how an action is carried out. As in:  \n  *\u201cShe spoke confidently.\u201d* ([collinsdictionary.com](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/confident?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the sentence you're looking at, I can show you whether \u201cconfident\u201d or \u201cconfidently\u201d is the correct choice in that context."

([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/at.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n### Navigating Landmarks\n\n- **D**: Jump to the *next* landmark. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/user-guide/navigation?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Shift + D**: Move to the *previous* landmark. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/user-guide/navigation?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### Listing Landmarks\n\n- **NVDA + F7**: Opens the *Elements List dialog*, where you can select \u201cLandmarks\u201d among types of elements, scroll through them, and jump to any one by pressing **Enter**. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/user-guide/navigation?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### Notes & Use\n\n- You must be in **browse mode** to use single-letter commands like `D`. Browse mode is the default when reading non-editable content. Press **NVDA + Space** to toggle between browse and focus mode. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/features/browse-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- In the elements list, once you choose \u201cLandmarks,\u201d you can filter or search if you want a particular one.

([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/at.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n### Navigating Landmarks\n\n- **R**: Jump to the *next* landmark / region. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/at.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Shift + R**: Go to the *previous* landmark. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/at.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Q** (JAWS 15+): Jump directly to the **main** region landmark. Useful if you want to skip navigation menus and get to the core content. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/at.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### Listing Landmarks\n\n- **Insert + Control + R**: Shows a *Landmarks list dialog*. From there, you can move through landmarks in the list, and press **Enter** to jump to the one you want. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/landmarks/examples/at.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### Older Versions\n\n- Before JAWS 15: Semicolon (`;`) and **Shift + ;** were used to move to next/previous landmarks. These are largely deprecated in newer versions. ([dequeuniversity.com](https://dequeuniversity.com/assets/pdf/screenreaders/jaws.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd04 Common Comparison & Tips\n\n| Task | NVDA | JAWS |\n|------|------|------|\n| Next landmark | `D` | `R` |\n| Previous landmark | `Shift + D` | `Shift + R` |\n| Jump to main landmark | \u2014 | `Q` |\n| List all landmarks | `NVDA + F7` \u2192 Landmarks tab | `Insert + Ctrl + R` |\n\n- Landmarks improve orientation: they tell you roughly what section you\u2019re in or jumping to (navigation, banner, search, etc.). ([liptrot.org](https://liptrot.org/guides/jaws/landmarks/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If a page has multiple landmarks of the same type (e.g. two navigation sections), being able to read the label (e.g. `aria-label`) helps identify which is which. ([liptrot.org](https://liptrot.org/guides/jaws/landmarks/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version of JAWS or NVDA you use (or which browser/OS), I can give you the exact keystrokes and maybe even scripts/custom settings to make landmark navigation easier."

        "content": "short answer: Yes \u2014 in NVDA, **Focus Mode** is essentially equivalent to what JAWS calls **Forms Mode** (or sometimes \u201cApplication Mode\u201d). They both allow you to interact with form fields, editable controls, menus, etc., whereas their \u201cother\u201d mode is for navigating content. But there are some nuanced differences in behavior and control. Here\u2019s a breakdown.\n\n---\n\n## Common Ground\n\nThese are the similarities:\n\n- In **JAWS**, *Forms Mode* activates when the focus is on an interactive control (textbox, combo box, etc.), allowing you to type or interact normally. ([dequeuniversity.com](https://dequeuniversity.com/assets/pdf/screenreaders/jaws-guide.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- In **NVDA**, *Focus Mode* is the equivalent: keys are passed through directly to the control so you can type, select, etc. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/features/browse-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- Both screen readers also have a \u201cread/browse\u201d mode (JAWS: Virtual PC Cursor / Browse Mode; NVDA: Browse Mode) designed for navigating page content\u2014headings, links, etc. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/features/browse-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Key Differences & Details\n\nSome important nuances where they differ or behave slightly differently:\n\n| Feature | NVDA (Focus / Browse Modes) | JAWS (Forms / Virtual Cursor Modes) |\n|---|---|---|\n| How mode switching works | Automatically when entering form fields or editable controls; manually with **NVDA + Space** ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/features/browse-mode?utm_source=openai)) | JAWS has **Auto Forms Mode** (on by default) which turns Forms Mode on automatically when you tab or arrow into controls; you can also enter manually (e.g. with Enter) and exit manually (e.g. Numpad Plus) ([dequeuniversity.com](https://dequeuniversity.com/assets/pdf/screenreaders/jaws-guide.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Interaction-type elements | Editable text, combo boxes, trees, etc., switch NVDA to Focus Mode; \u201cbasic\u201d interactive items like links/buttons may not always require Focus Mode. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/features/browse-mode?utm_source=openai)) | Similar \u2014 what triggers switching may differ; JAWS default tries to auto enter Forms Mode more aggressively, including for some simpler controls. ([accessibility-developer-guide.com](https://www.accessibility-developer-guide.com/knowledge/screen-readers/desktop/browse-focus-modes/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Manual toggle | NVDA + Space toggles Focus / Browse modes manually; Escape returns to Browse Mode. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/user-guide/navigation?utm_source=openai)) | In JAWS, you can press Enter (on a form field) to enter Forms Mode; press Numpad Plus to exit. Also \u201cEnter Forms Mode\u201d manually if auto mode is off. ([dequeuniversity.com](https://dequeuniversity.com/assets/pdf/screenreaders/jaws-guide.pdf?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Sounds / feedback | NVDA plays a sound (or speaks \u201cfocus mode\u201d / \u201cbrowse mode\u201d) when switching modes. ([nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app](https://nvaccess-nvda.mintlify.app/user-guide/navigation?utm_source=openai)) | JAWS has sounds to signal entering and exiting Forms Mode. Auto Forms Mode join/exit also has audio cues. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/SurfsUp/9-Forms.htm?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## Summary\n\nSo, yes: **Focus Mode in NVDA and Forms Mode in JAWS are equivalent in concept**\u2014both deal with interaction rather than navigation. When you need to input data, select options, etc., both screen readers switch or allow switching to a mode where normal application keystrokes work rather than navigation shortcuts.\n\nIf you want, I can show you side-by-side example behaviors (e.g. in a textbox, combo box) so you can see exactly when NVDA does or doesn\u2019t get into Focus Mode compared to JAWS."
