Sorry, I meant control escape.  My mistake.   I know it works with the older
versions of jaws but it's more of a windows command anyway, so should still
work now.

Alice,

 

No. It doesn't work with JAWS 11, either. I think she may have made a
mistake in the suggestion.

I am using JAWS 9, and alt escape does othing. It does not take me to the
start menu. 

    Is this a feature of later versions of JAWS? 

Thanks!

You can also get to the start menu by pressing alt+escape.  I know that
doesnt help much when trying to get to the desktop, but still.

that is strange.  Your best bet is to do a control escape, then press escape
again, this will get you to the start button then you wil have to tab to the
desktop. 

I would suggest getting an external keyboard whether its USB or wireless.

Hello,

 

I just picked up an older laptop and I'm using Jaws 10. The laptop doesn't
have a windows key, so I'm wondering how I would minimize things to get to
the desktop, (normally, Windows key plus letter m)

 

Thanks.
