Hi Ian
An interesting question. It's not only the four key ones that are
contortionist. I find some of the three key ones pretty finger-twisting. The
one I've been using recently is the MS Word one for insert the date,
shift+alt+D. it's just that none of the keys fall into ergonomic simplicity
and I have to hold down alt+D with the left hand, which isn't usual, and the
shift with the right. Once you get used to it, it becomes easier but it takes
some practice.
I reckin we're running out of permutations. It would be interesting to hear
whether anyone had any ideas about how we might find other ways of executing
commands other than hotkeys. The old Frank Audiodata used to have a dedicated
keypad wich could be programmed and you could do a lot more than you can these
days without worrying about conflicting with other MS commands.
Regards ... Scott

Hello,
I have had cause in recent days to use the four-key combination to examine
the advanced features of webpage elements and it caused me to wonder if anyone
would like to suggest what they think the most unreachable JAWS key combination
might be. There is no doubt that Freedom Scientific encourage us to go in for a
high degree of manual contortionism.
Iain.
