Hi Judy, Laptop keyboards most often include an FN key. A possibility might be that your FN+g key is defined to do something and you are occasionally accidentally hitting the FN key instead of the Shift key which might be next to it. Or, you might be hitting the Control+G keys rather than the Shift+G key. This thought comes from one who sometimes has fingers who think they have a mind of their own.
You said that this doesn't always happen. Try to note in which situations it does happen. Does this always happen in specific applications like Outlook, Word etc.? Could your "G" key have been redefined as a shortcut for something. Have you tried running with the default JAWS option? You could hit Insert-Spacebar followed by z. This will remove any JAWS user keyboard definitions, scripts etc. from the mix. See if your problem goes away.

I've had keyboards that die all kinds of different deaths. One way or the other, yours is almost certainly defective. Keyboards don't cost a lot if you find you need to replace it. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Jones Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2017 11:27 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Interference by letter G Hi, Glen, I thought about this some more, and will keep what you say in mind, but this is not behaving like a key with dust or a particle under it. The key feels no different when depressing than the others, and the key does not stick. Plus, it does not happen all the time. Plus, it activates something on my system that either silences Jaws or makes it so the cursor does not move, or am in a blank screen of some sort, who knows. I would think if there were something like a particle under the key, it would not activate anything or even react. This reaction I've described happens once I depress the G key, it activates something on my system. Just some thoughts, and thanks.

Turn you keyboard upside down, and give it a controlled but ascertive shake. You could also spray clean air under the keys, but, do not spray anything onto / under the keys other than clean air.
