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.

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. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
