I'm in the UK and on keyboards here, the
right alt key is marked alt gr and functions exactly the same as if the left
alt key and control keys have been pressed together. For example, I can use
the right alt key j to invoke Jaws as it works the same as alt control j. In
other words there is only one alt key on the keyboard and it's the one on the
left, which is easily operated with the left thumb.
Cheers

Subject: Alt Key Problem
Good morning everyone. I'm currently using Jaws 8.0 and Windows Vista Home
Premium. I am having a problem with 1 of my alt keys. Sometimes, when I go
to close a program with alt-f-4, I'll press the right alt key along with the
f-4 key and Jaws will say, alt-control-f-4. I thought I was having trouble
with both of my alt keys until I was having trouble with the right alt key
one day and press the left alt key with the f-4 key and it worked just fine.
The program I had open closed just like that. My right alt key doesn't act
up all the time, but when it does, it's a pain because it's the one I use
most to close programs that I have open. What could be my problem? Is there
something wrong with Jaws? Is there something wrong with my keyboard? Is it
a windows issue? I'd sure like to get this fixed. Any help would be
appreciated.
Cheers.
Geoff
