Troy,
After playing around in the properties of the JAWS Desktop icon a little
more in both JAWS 8.0 and 9.0, I discovered that after typing j into the
shortcut key field, just pressing Enter rather than tabbing to the OK
button keeps the key setting. For some reason, pressing Tab or Shift+Tab
makes the Shortcut field revert to None. Interestingly enough, this doesn't
happen when using JAWS 6.X or other screen readers to set the shortcut key.

Subject: Jaws 8 and hot keys
Hi All,
Has anybody been able to set a hot key on Jaws 8 and it actually sticks
and
works? I never had trouble setting hot keys before Jaws 8 but I've always
had trouble setting a hot key for Jaws 8, and according to a tech support
person at Freedom Scientific today it's a Windows problem and not a Jaws
problem. I might believe that if I have always had trouble even with
other
versions of Jaws, but today I was even trying to set the hot key on my new
laptop that I just got a couple of days ago and I couldn't make it work so
to me that shoots a hole in the theory of it being a Windows problem
smile.
Troy
