Hello,

I wanted to try using the laptop layout. I've changed to laptop layout in JAWS basic settings. My understanding is that now, the caps lock key should act as the JAWS key. But JAWS is behaving as if the caps lock is not the JAWS key.

I have to press caps lock twice before JAWS says caps lock on or caps lock off, which suggests the caps lock is being treated as the JAWS key. But I can't get jaws to respond to any jaws key commands. e.g. if I do caps lock t it doesn't read the title. If when in internet explorer I do caps lock i to read the current line jaws behaves as if I've just pressed i on its own and moves to the next list item.

Interestingly, for a while just now while writing this message the caps lock seemed to stop functioning altogether - I couldn't get JAWS to say "caps lock on" or "caps lock off" no matter how many times I pressed it. Don't know whether caps lock went on/off but JAWS just stopped announcing it...

Am I misunderstanding what's meant to happen or is there a problem? I'm using JAWS 7.0 for this.

Catherine
