True, but if using Sib-Access you need to select the appropriate keyboard there and then make sure it's the same for JAWS.

You may have to try a few, or get a recommendation from someone who has found one that works well. You need to go into the JAWS Basic Options menu and either tab to or type Alt-L to go directly to the combo box that says "Use keyboard layout" and be sure you have Desktop selected.
