Thanks, I didn’t know Windows B accesses system tray. Always wondered!

" You can also get to the NVDA menu via the Windows system tray. Either
right-click on the NVDA icon located in the system tray, or access the
system tray by pressing the Windows logo key+B, DownArrow to the NVDA icon
and press the applications key located next to the right control key on most
keyboards.
When the menu comes up, You can use the arrow keys to navigate the menu, and
the enter key to activate an item."

That's great.  Thanks, Amro.  It's a shame that Microsoft have the poor
insight to take away the Insert key.  Still, the silver lining is that I've
learned a trick for Jaws and will change my settings to laptop in a moment.

Hi Barry,

You can choose NVDA key modifiers by going into NVDA 
menu>Preferences>Settings>then down arrow to Keyboard and it's all in there.

Re Jaws, the answer is yes. I personally always use laptop keyboard layout
even on a desktop; I find it more flexible without losing any of the desktop
keyboard layout functionality.

Hi all

As you might know, there is no Insert key on the Microsoft Surface 
Pro.  Using NVDA, I believe that we just need to select the Capslock 
as the NVDA key at during the installation of NVDA.  Is there any way 
of changing it once NVDA has been installed without selecting the 
Capslock key?

Also, apparently, to get the Capslock key to work as the Insert key 
for Jaws, we just need to select Laptop style rather than desktop.  Is 
that right?

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers

Barry
