Hi,
Of course you guys could create a laptop toggle key the quick and dirty =
way
by using Jaws scripting just like you were writing a macro. In the =
example
below I have put this key on alt+shift+Control+l and I am toggling =
between
desktop and Laptop keyboard layout. Any of you could modify this script =
for
your situation. You could put the below script in your default.jss file =
and
recompile then assign a hotkey to it like the one I used above.
; *** start of script
Script ToggleKeyboardLayout ()
If SpeechInUse () then
SpeechOff ()
EndIf
JAWSWindow ()
{alt+o}Pause()
{b}Pause()
{Shift+Tab}Pause()
{Shift+Tab}Pause()
{Shift+Tab}Pause()
{Shift+Tab}Pause()
{Shift+Tab}Pause()
If GetWord ()=3D=3D"Desktop" then
{l}Pause()
{enter}Pause()
ElIf GetWord ()=3D=3D"Laptop" then
{d}Pause()
{enter}Pause()
EndIf
{alt+space}Pause()
{n}
If not SpeechInUse () then
SpeechOn()
EndIf
EndScript
; *** End of Script

there is no quick way I know of to toggle from laptop to desktop mode, =
but=20
there is another laptop layout you might use. The way laptop mode works =
is=20
that if you press and hold the laptop key and add the keys to be =
modified=20
such as p for jaws cursor and ; for pc cursor, it acts like the insert =
key.=20
If you want to perform as a caps lock toggle, you press it twice quickly =
to=20
enable caps lock and twice quickly to disable capslock.

Subject: JAWS laptop key toggle question
HI, all,
I am considering using a small wireless keyboard where I would need =
to
use the
capslock key to access the numbers via using capslock + U for 4 and =
cap +
i for 5 etc.
It sounds as if this is the laptop JAWS key command structure.
Can one imagine that there might be a conflict between JAWS laptop
commands and this use of keys on small keyboard?
Also is there a simple toggleto move quickly between JAWS =
regularly-used
key commandsand JAWS laptop key commands?
Many thanks.
Keyboard is made by Sentek.
