Re: strange problem with jaws 8 and ctrl+alt+j hotkey

Thank you Rick, I solved it on my wife's computer, actually had another shortcut on her desktop named just "jaws," which accepted the control-alt-j keystroke, but when I unloaded jfw, made sure all shortcuts had no "control-alt-j" keys assigned, I was able to assign to the one in the start menu under jfw8, control-alt-j. Whew! What a round about way to do the job. I believe that jfw is, in some way with the item on the desk top, JAWS 8.0 showing, intercepts in some way the control-alt-j sequence. Presumably, along with my comments to FS about this, they get it handled. :) Now, we have a way to circumvent the problem which, is, in this case, a JAWS one, but weird one, for sure which effects the convenience of jaws users who wish to use control-alt-j. I, initially, used control-alt-8 for jfw 8 since I have jfw5 on this machine also which already has control-alt-j assigned to it.

Actually Alex,

Thank Curtis Deltzer, he had the idea to do it with narrator.

Well my apologies then, it must be something to do with the way JAWS is handleing the keyboard now. Very puzzleing but if narater worked then it's definately a JAWS issue.

Rick, You are indeed quite correct, doing it with narrator worked a treat, and I now have the shortcut key I wanted all along ctrl+shift+j. 
I'll send freedom Scientific a message about it.
Cheers.

Alex,
Try unloading JAWS 8 with Insert + F4 and using narrator with Windows key + U and see if you can change the properties successfully. If you can then JAWS has something to do with it. IF not then its something else.

Rick, Have you been following this thread. I'm sick and tired of the number of times I've had to explain that I've checked all the desktop icons to make sure nothing has the keystroke assigned to it. I've also used shortcut detective from the jfwlite website to determine that there is no shortcut on my system that has the ctrl+shift+j keystroke assigned to it. 
Cheers.
Alex

I disagree, JAWS has absolutely nothing to do with properties on a desktop icon. That is either a MS issue or someone hasn't cleared the contro+Alt+j shortcut from another icon on the desktop. 

We can't blame every single issue to JAWS.

Rich, I'm coming to the conclusion as others already have that it must be a jaws problem. 
Cheers.

Hi Alex,
Gave it a shot and came up short. Darn. Will give it more thought.

Richard, Unfortunately I find that that doesn't work either.
Cheers.
