Hi,

I tried this just now to see if it would work.  It didn't.  I clicked Apply,
then went back to the Shortcut Key field, and JAWS now says None.  I then
hit J again, went to Apply, clicked on it, then clicked OK.  I then opened
the Properties for the shortcut again, and the Shortcut Key field said None
again.

Hi.  Have you atempted to hit apply before pressing the ok button to save
your changes? I was atempting to do a hot key for another progam and i found
that I had to do that to get the hotkey to work.
