Hi Ismail,
I have been attempting to do as you say but each time I
reach number 5 in your list, immediately on pressing the
short cut key combination (and I have tried several
different combonations) I am taken back to the JAWS icon. I
press Alt+Tab to go back into Properties and the edit box
for the short cut key is empty again.
I also think it might be because I am choosing a key
combination that is already being used but where is the list
of these short cut keys held so that I can check this theory
out.
Jim

Hi Jim,
I have just tried setting up a jaws13 short cut key as
follows and have
tested it and it works fine.
1. Find the jaws 13 icon on your desktop
2. Press the context menu key (the key next to the control
key on the right
hand side)
3. Cursor up and down to properties and hit enter.
4. Tab to short cut key and delete anything that's there.
5. Press the key combination you want to use and tab to
apply and hit space
bar.
6. Tab through till you get to short cut key and make sure
jaws is
announcing your key combination then tab to OK and hit
enter.
One of the reasons jaws would not let you set up a short cut
key is if that
short cut is being used somewhere else in another programme.
Personally I would run a repair on jaws if this problem
continues and see if
that's solves the problem.
Regards,
Ismail.
