[access-uk] Re: Desktop to Laptop Keyboard

Hi Tony,
Well, you still can use a lot of the desktop commands with the laptop layout. The main differences in the laptop layout are the Jaws key plus number 8 and 9 on the numbers row simulating the mouse clicks and using some of the letters with the Jaws key instead of the num pad. So yes, you will still be using many of the desktop commands with a laptop such as Jaws key plus the function keys, the numbers row, the arrows, home, end, page up/down etc. So don't worry, it's not much of a learning curve.
And ah, you can use the keyboard help mode (Jaws plus number 1) to familiarise yourself with the new key commands.
Yeah, I find the caps lock key to be a lot more convenient to use. I'm not even sure why Jaws have laptop and desktop keyboard layouts. Unless I'm missing something, with the laptop layout one has both functionalities of the desktop layout as well as the laptop layout compiled. That's why I use the laptop layout all the time. 

HTH,
Amro

Amro,
The thought did strike me alright earlier that the capslock key as a Jaws key seems easier to access!
Do you know if you can retain any of the desktop keystrokes or must one learn all those new ones? 

Thanks

Tony

Tony, best to refer to Keystrokes/Laptop Jaws Keystrokes in the Jaws help files. You'll find a table of all the commands you need there plus other useful info. I personally prefer using the Caps Lock key as the Jaws key that I use Laptop Keyboard Layout even when using a desktop. 

Cheers,
Amro

The JAWS key in laptop layout is caps locked. You can change the layout through the basic settings dialogue box, accessed from the options menu in JAWS itself.

Subject: [access-uk] Desktop to Laptop Keyboard



Hi All,
I have never really worked a laptop keyboard layout and am wondering for any tips you might have to give? 

I am using Jaws and the laptop is Vostro.

It is a standard laptop keyboard I reckon!
I previously only used the querty keyboard even connected to a laptop but as I now need to move my laptop about a bit I thought that I should now get useed to the laptop keyboard layout!
I note that there isn't an insert/Jaws key as I knew it on the desktop keyboard? 

What for example is the Jaws key on a laptop!
Do I need to change the keyboard layout for Jaws and if so how do I do this?
Getting used to the laptop keys will save me a lot of unnecessary carrying around of an additional keyboard in the future!! 

Any assist with these queries gratefully appreciated.

Tony
