MessageBut, Dave, if you hang them by their thumbs, then they won't be able to
press either of the Alt keys.
But seriously, I had no idea about that "feature" of the U.K. keyboard.

Kevin:
In which country do you live?
I ask, because when I have used any computer in the UK, I have noticed that
the UK keyboard layout uses the right Alternate as a combined CTRL+ALT
keystroke.
Personally, I would like to hang the person who came up with that idea, by
their thumbs.
Not having the right Alternate key behave in the same way as the left
Alternate key, is an enormous inconvenience.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Guys,
Has anyone noticed that in JAWS 10.0.1154, when you choose an alternate
Say All, in order to use the default Say All voice and override your alternate
say all in a given case, you must press the right hand alt key before pressing
insert down arrow. That's a drag because it's much easier to press the left alt
key and then press insert down arrow in desktop layout with the right hand.
Any idea why overriding default say all has to be invoked with the right hand
alt key and not the left?
Kevin
