Hi, Jeff.  You actually have a lot of control over what key combination on
your display does what.  If you don't like the ones they've assigned, you
can change them, or add another.  Figure out what key you want to use for
tab.  It's ok if it's a keystroke already assigned to something else as long
as it isn't one you tend to use; you're in charge here.  Then go into
Keyboard Manager, into the default file, and arrow to the tab key in the
list of keystrokes.  There will probably be more than one key assigned to
activate tab.  Choose add keystroke from the actions menu and hit the
keystroke on your display you want to use for tab.  You may have to argue
with JAWS to convince it that you really want to override the original
assignment if there was one.  Then save the changes.  This is the brief
description.  If you need more help, I or somebody else can provide it.

 

Dean
