As part of Sharkvember, we are providing daily JAWS and ZoomText keyboard command tips, which we are calling “Sharkvember Shortcuts.” Visit the Sharkvember Shortcuts page each day for a new tip.

Use Freeze View
| Keystroke | Description |
| CAPS LOCK+N | Creates a Freeze View window. |
| CAPS LOCK+CTRL+x, where x is 1, 2, 3, or 4 | Toggles Freeze View on or off. The value “x” is a number—1, 2, 3, or 4—that represents which Freeze View window you are entering or leaving. With this feature, you can draw a window around the area of the screen that you want to monitor. After you make your selection, the Freeze View displays on top of the full zoom window, which continues to operate normally. The Clock and Start menu are on opposite sides of the screen, for example, so you can select one as a Freeze View and see both simultaneously. The magnification level of the Freeze View is not affected by changes to the full zoom window. You can create up to four Freeze Views and place them anywhere on the screen. |
| CAPS LOCK+A | Adjusts the size and position of a Freeze View window. |
| ESC | Closes the Freeze View tool, the Freeze View Selection tool, or the Freeze View Adjustment frame. |
