I\u2019ll include how to avoid common pitfalls when using screen reader keystrokes.\n\n---\n\n## Important things to know\n\n- Default browser settings are part of **Windows system settings**, not within Edge alone. ([en.ittrip.xyz](https://en.ittrip.xyz/windows/edge/edge-default-browser-shortcut?utm_source=openai))  \n- You may need to assign Edge for various file types and protocols (like `.htm`, `.html`, `HTTP`, `HTTPS`). ([support.hp.com](https://support.hp.com/lt-en/document/ish_2851707-2408268-16?utm_source=openai))  \n- JAWS may require confirmation of focus and keyboard mode; ensure you're in the correct mode (often Pseudo-Cursor or Forms mode, depending on version) so you can navigate settings.\n\n---\n\n## Steps using the keyboard and JAWS\n\nHere\u2019s how to change your default browser to Edge on Windows (Windows 10 or Windows 11) using keyboard commands:\n\n1. Press **Win + I**  \n   *This opens the Windows Settings app.*  \n\n2. Press **Tab** until you reach the left sidebar (if not already there). Use **Down Arrow** to move to **Apps**. Press **Enter**.  \n\n3. In the **Apps** settings, use **Tab** to move through items until you focus on **Default Apps**, then press **Enter**.  \n\n4. Once in **Default Apps**, press **Tab** until you reach the search box or the list of apps.  \n   - If there's a search (\u201cSearch apps\u201d or \u201cChoose default by app\u201d), you can type `Edge` then Down Arrow to select **Microsoft Edge** and press Enter.  \n   - If navigating manually, use **Tab** / **Arrow Keys** to reach the list, then **Up/Down Arrows** to pick **Microsoft Edge**. Press **Enter**.  \n\n5. After selecting Edge, you\u2019ll see a list of file types and protocols (like `.htm`, `.html`, `HTTP`, `HTTPS`). For each one:  \n   - Use **Tab** to move to the first file-type item.  \n   - Use **Arrow Keys** to move between types.  \n   - When focus is on a type or protocol, press **Enter** to activate the selection dialog.  \n   - Use **Arrow Keys** to choose **Microsoft Edge**, then **Enter** to confirm.  \n\n6. Once all relevant ones are changed to Edge, press **Alt + F4** or **Esc** to close Settings.  \n\n---\n\n## Quick-short methods\n\nIf you want a faster way (once Edge is open):\n\n- Open Edge.\n- Press **Ctrl + L** or **Alt + D** to focus on the address bar.\n- Type `edge://settings/defaultBrowser` then press **Enter**.  \n  *This goes directly to Edge\u2019s Default Browser settings panel.* ([en.ittrip.xyz](https://en.ittrip.xyz/windows/edge/edge-default-browser-shortcut?utm_source=openai))  \n- Then use **Tab** and **Enter** to set Edge as default.  \n\n---\n\n## Tips for using JAWS\n\n- Use **JAWS Key + Z** to hear which mode is active. Switch to the mode that allows moving by form controls if needed (Forms Mode).  \n- If JAWS isn\u2019t reading items as you focus them, try pressing **Insert + F3** to switch to Forms Mode.  \n- Use **Tab**, **Shift + Tab**, **Arrow Keys**, and **Enter** to navigate. Avoid using the mouse if possible.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your version of Windows (10 or 11) and your version of JAWS, I can give you **specific keys** that work best for *your* setup. Do you want me to walk you through that?"
