Understood. Once in a blue moon, a sighted person needs access, and doesn't want to mess with speech, and this sounds like just the ticket. The only thing that's freaking me out is that Ins-0 combo. I'm already doing finger exercises to loosen up.

It is not passing keys through. In other words, if an application you are using is not usable because Jaws catches the keypresses before they get to the application. Keep this one in mind for later reference. It's a tricky thing! :-) On 6/25/2010 10:29 PM, Dave Carlson wrote: Very nice! Just assigned it to Ctrl+Shift+grave (Ctrl+grave didn't work for me) and it even says "speech off" and "speech on". So simple and elegant.

I use ctrl+grov grov its located above the tab key and to the left of the 1. 6 tab to OK press enter 7 save the settings with ctrl+S 8 press alt+F4 to exit. I hope this helps you!
