Unmute is answering the call. We've gotten tons of feedback asking, are you ever going to be on sometime besides in the middle of the week? Well, the answer is yes. Starting in November, we're going to be on the first Saturday of every month. Check our website unmute show for details as well as the community email that goes out every day, and we'll see you there.
Sometimes we need to be able to quickly glance at a specific section of a website, whether that be to activate a link or to see if some changes you made were actually effective. I utilize a tool called Place Markers by jaws, and today I'm going to show you how to set it up and what purpose I provide. So I'm in the process of troubleshooting a website where one of the plugins we have installed, it kind of appears to have gone rogue and we need to figure out if we disable this plugin, will it make some specific menu options appear? So I've got the list of all of the active plugins in desktop two, and I'm going to use x to find the first checkbox.
Select all checkbox not checked.
I don't want to do that because we need to disable one by one to figure out which one is causing the problem.
So x again select GP address autocomplete checkbox not checked.
And this is one of the plugins that we're going to go ahead and disable. So I will down arrow from here.
GP address autocomplete link deactivate GP address autocomplete and I'm going to tap deactivate and we'll press enter loading page plugin.
Signal l now this loads.
The page loading completes. Plugin single left point and angle loading is complete.
Now I'm going to jump back over to the other window with control window's.
Left arrow desktop two form setting single left point and angle quotation mark.
And now we're on the form settings. And what I'm trying to find out is if I disable a plugin and I go to the top of this.
Page form settings, I can hit e.
For edit field to get to the.
Title of the form basic. And then if I up arrow personal.
Data, I hear link personal data and that's the last link. That's not what I want. I want there to be some additional links in this menu. So what I'm going to do is to save myself having to tap up arrow a couple of times and e for edit field. I'm going to down arrow to the.
Text form title left and set a place marker here.
This means that when I reload the page I can easily tap the letter k to jump to this section and then up arrow from there. So I'll press ctrl shift k like.
Khdem place marker list dialog place marker list view not selected one of one.
And this puts me in a list of place markers where I already have one. Come to find out that by default is not selected. You can tab through this dialog and explore the options.
Add dot dot dot button alt plus a remove alt button alt b cancel button Alt C display place markers for colon all radio button checked three of three alt place marker list view not.
Select and in this case I want to add a place marker. So I'm going to tap alt a.
Place marker list dialog add place marker dialog name colon edit form title left parent required right parent alt plus n.
By default, jaws will give you the text that is highlighted and we want this to apply in this case on all pages on this domain.
So we'll tab divine for all pages on current domain. Checkbox not checked alt plus d and.
I'll check that checked and then we'll.
Tab again anchor the text. Checkbox not checked alt plus a and.
I do want it to anchor to text because ideally when this menu appears and we're done troubleshooting the website to figure out what's causing it, the text that we've set this place marker on will visually move down the page. Therefore I want it to match the text and not the actual place on the web page. So let's check this box checked and.
Then we'll tab again anchor text colon edit form title left parent required right parent alt plus t and that's perfectly fine.
We'll tab one more time.
Ok button alt plus o and press.
Enter on ok, now we've set this.
Place marker title is form setting single.
We'Re on the form settings page. I'm going to reload this page with.
Control r, refreshing page loading page load and complete form setting single left point and angle quotation mark.
Now the page has loaded because we heard the ding which is a lisie feature. And as you might remember I used to have to press the e key.
Form basics group form and then up arrow three times less strong gray form title left link personal data to get.
To the link personal data. However, if I go to the top.
Of the page, form setting single left point and angle quotation mark and I hit k for k form title left paran required right paran I'm taken right.
To the form title and I can.
Up arrow once link personal data.
So now I can press Ctrl windows right arrow to jump back over to.
The list of plugins desktop one plugin single left and I'm going to go.
To the top plugin and use x to find the next plugin.
To disable select select GP advanced phone field checkbox not checked. We're going to down Arrow GP advanced.
Clone I'm fairly certain it's not this plugin. I'm going to actually leave all of these gravity forms plugins enabled and jump to one that it might be link.
Deactivate gravity forms user registration enhanced and.
We'Re going to hit enter on that.
Plugin single wait for this page to load.
The page has loaded. I'll hit control windows left arrow desktop to form settings and then we'll reload this page.
Refreshing page loading page form settings now.
Remember, we don't have to use e for edit field and up arrow.
We can hit k form title left parent required right parent and then up arrow link personal data nope, that wasn't it.
So that's how you can use place markers to quickly set points on a web page that you want to move your focus to. One last thing I want to let you know. If you use control shift k, you'll then have a list of the place markers that you can down arrow to.
Form title left parent required right parent domain two of two and then if.
You want to activate that you can press enter. And if you read your line now.
Form title left parent required right parent.
Your focus is moved to that specific place marker. Place markers are powerful. Combined with flexible web, you can completely customize the experience you have on both websites and web based applications.
