Hi, 
You got into the Home Row Utility.  Just hit Insert plus Spacebar and you will 
get out.  It is a toggle.

  Subject: NumPad behaving strangely


  Hi Listers,

   

  I am using the latest build of JAWS.  Yesterday, while using a program, JAWS 
began saying things like more characters, most characters, all characters, etc. 
when I pressed the up and down arrows.  If I press the left or right arrows 
JAWS would count up or down depending on which key I pressed.  It would count 
to 50 and then start over at 1 with the right arrow, and go the opposite way 
with the opposite arrow.  Other NumPad keys gave other interesting responses.  
Does anyone have a clue as to what happened, and how to undo it if it happens 
again?

   

  Another thing is that a friend had the same thing happen this evening.  
Again, the latest build of JAWS is being used in that case.

   

  Thanks
