Also, Andre, just in case not,
Were you aware of the individual Key Labels muting dialog? before settings
centre land, in jaws11 and prior, you'd get to it by entering config 
manager,
jaws+f2 then c, then enter.
then going alt+S, then K for the keyboard dialog, then control+Tab in there
to arrive at it?

In Settings centre land, typing "key labels" without quotes, should bring it 
up in the list of results.
Except this appears broken in the current build of beta 13.

In here, you can simply mute specific keys? there's 84 options in there.
It's a multi-lettter navigable listview as well, so you can use those to
jump around the list once you know how they define their keys.


One of them is tab, enter is known in there as Return, Space is in there,
all the function keys, up to f24, PageUp is known as Prior pageUp, and
pageDown as "next PageDown," Numpad Home, End, PageUp and Pagedown noted 
separately,
And, control Alt Windows etc, seem to be
grouped under a rather obscure entry called,
"ModifiedPrintable."
Which if muted, seems to silence those. it's one of the first things I 
always
do to the default configuration file when installing a new version of jaws.

You can also change key Labels in here as well if desired.

I know this won't be quite as configurable as attaching Doug's QuietKey 
Script to various keys in the jkm, but, just in case you may never have 
located this pup before?

hth.
Geoff.
