"Along the top of the keyboard is a strip containing some controls which

If I use clear adhesive plastic with Braille on to mark them, will this
cause any problems."
Provided they have some travel, ie, they press down a little it should not be a
problem, there are such things as touch switches or touchpads which would be
affected by a layer of plastic between them and finger. As for desktop layout
on a laptop, some keyboard combinations may prove more awkward hence the
inclusion of the laptop layout, you'll have to drive it normally and see how
you go.

Subject: [access-uk] SOME LAPTOP QUESTIONS
I've just been given a new HP laptop for work. It's running Jaws 8.
Along the top of the keyboard is a strip containing some controls which
are not identifiable by touch but are just marked with visual symbols.
If I use clear adhesive plastic with Braille on to mark them, will this
cause any problems with them spontaneously activating or prevent them
from activating at all? Next a Jaws related one. Currently I've
maintained the keyboard setting as Desktop because this laptop has an
insert key which, in that mode continues to work as the jaws key which
is what I'm used to. Is this likely to bring me any difficulties?
With thanks.
Ian
