It 
hasn’t   done anything  that I’ve noted  so far. I am using a Toshiba laptop 
with windows 8.

I had thought of that, but I wondered if there might be unexpected 
consequences. I have discovered that the key next to Control pressed with Alt 
makes the keys behave in the standard Windows manner. You have to be a 
contortionist when using JAWS!

Subject: [access-uk] Function Keys on Toshiba

Hi
I have just acquired a Toshiba laptop. I am enjoying using it. However, Toshiba 
in their wisdom seem to have mapped the Function keys in a non-standard way. Is 
their any way I can bring these keys back in line with the Windows standard? I 
can do most of what is required through other key combinations. However, the 
key mapping does have an effect on JAWS keystrokes which use function keys. I 
think subject came up very recently, but I don’t recall any advice on how to 
remedy the matter, even though the matter seemed to have been remedied.
