Yvonne, you can choose Numpad Insert, Caps Lock or Scroll Lock to be the
JAWS key for the desktop layout. For JAWS V12, you configure this by going
to the settings centre with JAWS+6. Then select the default application.
Then go to the keyboard node in the tree and open it. Arrow down to, JAWS
key for desktop layout. Press space until the required key is spoken. Then
tab to OK and press Enter.
 
If you have JAWS 11 or earlier, go to Configuration Manager with JAWS+6,
then select the default application with Ctrl+Shift+d. I think you then go
to the Settings menu with Alt+S, arrow down to Keyboard and hit Enter. You
should then see a dialog which includes a set of radio buttons called, JAWS
key for desktop layout. Choose the required radio button and hit OK.
Finally, exit Configuration Manager with Alt+F4 and choose Yes to save your
changes.
 
Hope this helps.
 
John

Subject: [jaws-uk] jaws key change


hi 
i would like to change the jaws key to something else as i use the numeric
keypad frequently.
i keep forgetting to change from num loc on and off.
can someone tell me how to change the key?
and of course can it be reversed back to the zero on the numeric keypad if i
feel this was not such a good idea to change it.
1 last question is there any keys i can't use?
i would like to use the caps lock key as this is rarely used for anything
thank you
 
Yvonne

Hi everybody, re the recent post about inability to access the ice grips
page on the blacktoe website. I assume the person is using IE8. If you add
the site to compatibility view in the tools menu it works fine.
                    John.
