For JAWS users: When you tab to the menu bar and toolbar, JAWS announces that you are entering the menus and standard toolbar and tells you how to skip the entire menu bar and toolbar; it also tells you that you can go directly to the transaction code input field to enter a transaction code directly. When you tab again, JAWS announces that you are entering the menu section and tells you how to open individual menus.
When you tab to a menu, JAWS announces the menu name and tells you it is a menu. It also tells you if the menu is disabled (unavailable).
When you tab to a menu item on an open menu, JAWS announces the menu level and the name of the menu item, as well as whether it is disabled (unavailable), and tells you whether the menu item has a submenu.
When you tab out of the menu bar, JAWS announces that you are leaving the menu section. When you tab out of the toolbar, JAWS announces that you are leaving the menus and the standard toolbar.
