You will need to check for this key in the KeyPressedEvent.
You could try something like the following:
if nKey == kc_applications then
performScript Yourscript
return
endif

Unfortunately, that does not work. I am guessing that JAWS was not
trapping that key then.
Thanks,

You should be able to go in to the *.JKM file for that application,
and paste in the following:
Applications=PutTheNameOfYourScriptHere
Control+s to save, and then Alt+w and down arrow to the script file
again and press enter.
Then compile your script files once more to update the keystroke you
added in the the JKM file.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, I just tried this with JAWS 9 at home and it was successful.
I was confused because I tried all of the things you mentioned at work
and I was sure it was not successful. At work, I use JAWS 7. I tried
it again with JAWS 7 at home and it did not work. Is there a way to do
this with JAWS 7?
Thanks,
Kevin

When you check the check box to allow a key to be mapped, you
should be able to just press your application key on where it ask for a
key stroke, and it should take it. You can also change in the JKM for
jaws key board manager where it shows for example:
Applications=test
The context menu when you hit your application key is the same menu
as if you click your right mouse button on an item. But not sure if the
application key is acting correctly in the program you are trying to do
this in.
Hope this helps!

Subject: [jawsscripts] Mapping Application key to a script
Hello,
I have recently been working with a program where the application
key does not work. I can route the JAWS key to the PC cursor and right
click to get the context menu. I wrote a little script to do this. The
problem is that I would love to map the application key to this script.
There is no way to do this with the keyboard manager, because if you try
to use the key, it actually activates the context menu. I have gone
into the file with notepad, but can not find the right way to refer to
the application key. Is this at all possible?
Thanks,
Kevin
