Brian,
Here's the complete answer from JAWS/Help/Keyboard Commands
Laptop Keystrokes
This section contains information on keystrokes specific to the Laptop keyboard
layout. The keyboard layout can be changed in the JAWS Application Window under
the Options menu, in the Basics dialog. Few Laptop systems have keyboards with
a number pad, so many of these functions have been shifted to the main section
of the keyboard. Many of the keystrokes are not much different from the Desktop
keyboard layout. Only those that are totally different are listed here.
The other keystrokes are all listed in the Desktop keystrokes section. When
using the Laptop keyboard layout, just substitute the CAPS LOCK key for the
INSERT key. For most of those keystrokes, the INSERT key works as well,
however, you may find the CAPS LOCK key is a very easy to use substitute.
Note: MAGic allows you to select which key is used as the MAGic Key. Since
JAWS now provides the same flexibility for the JAWS Key, when the two products
are used together, it is important that the MAGic Key and the JAWS key are not
assigned to the same key. If they are assigned to the same key, any JAWS
commands assigned to a key combination using the JAWS Key are not activated
when the key combination is pressed.
Even if you use a desktop system or keyboard, you may wish to try the Laptop
keyboard layout. When using the Laptop keyboard layout, most of your commands
are right at your fingertips - as you type - so you do not need to continually
switch your right hand to the number pad and back to the main section of your
keyboard.

Subject: [ddots-l] laptop question
Hello all,
This seems like a dumb question, but I left my external pc keyboard at my
church after playing yesterday, and I have to do some tracking today so I am
having to just use my laptop keyboard. Does anyone know how to route jaws to
pc band then how to go back to the pc cursor on the laptop without being in
laptop mode? I seem to remember it having to do with the function key on the
laptop or something... Also, does anyone know how to lock the mouse on a
laptop and unlock it? Thanks,
Brian
