Hi James,
Her is an answer to some of your questions:
Have you tried the old "Key Pass Through" feature in Jaws 7.0? That's
Insert + 3, followed by your application specific key combination. The
wording or terminology may sound strange for the folks on the side walk,
or even for a dedicated metal worker, but it's a nice feature to deal
with key combination interfering with Jaws own keystrokes. Normally, I
use it whenever an application keystroke is conflicting with Jaws. And
the Control key will still work to silence Jaws, if needed.
Sometimes, reassigning keys in Windows environment is not recommended
because there are too many hidden running applications and we don't have
any info or control on them. Moreover, updates, patches, fixes, etc, may
change any settings we've made and force us to reconfigure, endlessly. I
just miss standards sometimes! Anyway, try Insert + 3 and keep us posted.
Best regards,
Adam

I need to use the control key for some commands in a program I use,
but also need to be alerted by JFW if something happens while I'm
using those commands. The control key makes that pretty much
impossible. I'm wondering how it can be done to change the key
combination used for it to something a little less interfering. I
tried assigning a key combination to the stop speech script in the
default keymap file, but all that did was make that key combination
work and didn't cancel the use of the control key. Is there a way I
can accomplish that?
