You can also turn on Sticky Keys by pressing either SHIFT key five times.

I am not sure if this function was first introduced in Windows Xp or not.  If 
you have a Windows operating system prior to Windows Xp, you can try it and see 
if it works.

  Chris and others with small hands,

  There is an option in JAWS which if checked, will temporarily hold down the 
Insert key so you can move your hand to press other combination keys. I'm 
missing a left hand, so I've been using this feature of JAWS for many years.

  And while we're on this topic, there is a utility included in Windows, called 
Sticky Keys, which will hold down all modifier keys, such as Control, Alt, 
Windows, and Shift, so that one-handed persons can press multiple 
key-combinations. You can find Sticky Keys in the control panel/Accessibility 
section.

  Hi, yes, this will seem a very valuable new feature, particularly at those
  times when JAWS went silent on us when we used the cut/copy commands. I
  think the keystroke's a bit awkward though, I mean, who's able to press
  Windows Insert X? Of course we can change that at our own will, but I
  suggest you practice this key combo before the public beta gets released
  <smiles>. Just my £0.02 worth.
