Hi, thank you for your help. The solution for my laptop: external keyboard and Jaws in desktop mode. But the most important is that I must turn the keyboard in american layout with alt-shift.

Beware that, if you plan to use a USB-type numpad with your laptop, many of them don't work. One which I have used successfully with Sonar and Sibelius is the Micropad 631 from XKeys. One company that sells it is InfoGrip. You can reach them at 800-397-0921. It should just plug and play. Be sure to set your laptop to desktop keyboard setting in Jaws, by going to the Basics menu, typing alt-L to get to Keyboard Layout, and selecting Desktop from the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: William R.

Set JAWS to Desktop under "Basics". And, if I'm not mistaken, you'll need to tell Windows that you're using the keyboard lay-out for the USA. I cannot remember how to accomplish that however. I think a few other people on the list will help you with those specifics.

It's with my laptop. I have sonar4 and jaws 5.1 in english. My card is "mobility10". I tried "classic laptop" and "laptop" and the resolution is 16b. When I open Sonar, I can jump from a track to the other and some functions like ctrl!t or ctrl!I are ok. But it's impossible to select a track. Jaws says only: "alt enter". It's the same with many short cuts. Next week I must record outside and it would be good if somebody could help me. Thank you Jean-Paul
