Hi Steve,

 

You could cheat a bit to find out what keys are what. Engage Jaws keyboard
help by pressing Insert+NumberRow1 then press each key on the keyboard. Any
silent keys are candidates for Fn keys that will act as additional
modifiers. Exit keyboard help by pressing Insert+1 again.

 

Best wishes.

Subject: [vipaudioaccess] New keyboard: right alt+control not acting as
expected?

 

Hi guys...anyone got any ideas why my new keyboard's right alt/control is
not working as expected?  this is the key to the right of the spacebar and
when I press it for an "alt+control" command, no go I'm afraid, it's not
executed or recognised or something.

 

I've tried with a couple of keyboard layouts, english and US international,
but still the same.  It's slowly driving me nuts, as it makes using these
keys a pain when I need to use keys on the left side...can't use the right
hand for modifiers.  It's not an expensive keyboard, £6 from Asda, but my
other died after some idiot knocked over a full mug of tea onto it...ummm,
that idiot was me!  Any help would help me sleep better :p, cheers Steve.
