Hi Daniel,
I'm having difficulty finding the documentation for this, but this is how I
think it works.

* The default.jkm file is an ini style file with sections for various key
maps. I think you would want to create a new section. Then copy the key
strokes from other sections into your new sections. Finally, change the
entries to what you need. I think you should then be able to go to the JAWS
> Options > Basics menu and select your new mapping. If I am wrong about
that last sentence, then you would need to replace the key stroke entries
in the other sections of the file with what you need.

Thanks.

Hi,

I sadly had to use a windows box today (Not at home...) and needed to use
JAWS. I didn't have a choice on what I could use since my school only has
windows computers.

Anyway I was wondering is there away to change the 'Jaws" keymap so the
numpad is like the orca numpad?
So for example 8 == sayline 7 == priorline 9 == nextline etc...
So all the keymaps are the same?

And then how about for Internet explorer? I think they are ok, but I have
to press enter on form fields for some reason... I don't have to do this
with orca...
Anyway if someone has a keymap for the numpad please let me know.
Or how can I do this?

Thanks,
