Neither did I, Amro.  I have always used insert + f11, but if there's no insert 
key....

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
