You know it, but not by that name. It's the insert key on the desktop keyboard numpad and the control key on a laptop. People have adopted the "JAWS key" name to cover both situations.

Subject: What is the JAWS Key?

Hello Friends, I have been using JAWS for a very long time.

Anyway, can some one please tell me what the:

JAWS Key

is.... I am serious, I do not know, and I have seen reference to it in the messages once in a while.

Sorry if I seem nuts, but I assure you, I have been using JAWS successfully for many years holding down employment and supporting myself and my wife! I just do not know what the JAWS key is!!

Best Regards, Alan Dicey Miami, Florida

CTRL+JAWS Key+Down arrow should start the skim reading tool no matter what application. I think just tapping the ctrl key will stop it.

It has been a while since i used this feature so I am going by memory. roy
