  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
