Hi Jim,

Have you tried a jaws repair.

Hi,

Yes I can delete the short cut key for JAWS 9 which was
Ctrl+Alt+J but cannot define a short cut key for JAWS 13.
When I try to define a short cut I am taken back to the JAWS icon.

If I then press Alt+Tab the Properties sheet is still open with the edit
field for the short cut key empty.

Jim

Hello Jim,
Shortcut or in this case the hotkey is not saved in a JAWS menu. They are
windows functions that you define and customise. I see 2  problems that you
are facing from your mail below, correct me if wrong in the understanding.

1. Unable to delete the shortcut for JAWS 9.
2. Unable to designate a hotkey to launch JAWS 13.

Await your reply, to further assist you with a solution.

Hi Mujtaba,

Whatever key combination of keys I enter in the edit box I get dumped back
at the JAWS icon without having a chance to press the Apply or OK buttons.

First of all, I deleted the short cut key combo I had for starting JAWS 9
(Alt+Ctrl+J) with the intention of using that for JAWS 13 but that wasn't
accepted.  As I mentioned I tried several other combinations but without
success.

Can you remind me where the list of short cuts keys in use is kept within
the JAWS menu system please.

Jim

Hi Jim,
Hit the start menu and then go to programs then scroll down to the JAWS 13
program group sub menu, scroll down to where it says JAWS and hit your
application key on it. From the options there hit enter on create shortcut
send to desktop.
Escape out of the menus and then go to the desktop and hit the J key till
you hear JAWS. On this desktop icon hit the alt and enter key. This should
open up a properties dialog box at the General page. Tab on this page till
you hear Shortcut key and in the edit box of the same hit the keys you want
as hotkeys to launch JAWS. After which tab to the apply button and hit
enter. Then tab around and hit enter on the OK button, this should close the
properties dialog box.
Insert F4 to quit JAWS and try hitting the hot keys you specified to test if
they work in launching JAWS.

To disable JAWS from launching at startup go to the general/basics  options
for JAWS and uncheck the option that says launch JAWS at startup. NOTE: You
will have no support from JAWS on your windows log on screen if you do this.

Hi Folks,

Using JAWS 13, XP Home and Office 2003

Can someone remind me of the key sequence for setting a hot key for JAWS 13,
rather than have JAWS start automatically.
