If not here is how you get to it. 1, Open the Settings Center in either of these 2 ways. A, Press, Insert / Jaws Key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard. B, Press, Insert / Jaws Key + F2, 2, press, control, shift , + D, to open the Settings Center Default All Applications. 3, Arrow down to, Users, right arrow to open. 4, Arrow down to, Insert Key Mode, press space bar to check this box. Here's the explanation of this option: When selected, the INSERT key functions as a sticky key. Any key pressed immediately after pressing the INSERT key is treated as if it were pressed in combination with the INSERT key. This check box is cleared by default. 5, tab to ok, press the space bar Patti I cross my left hand over my right to press insert leaving my right hand on the home row to press the J. The one that I find difficult on my current laptop is Insert+Function+semicolon to route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor. The Insert key and the semicolon are on the same side of the keyboard. The Function key and Insert key are in opposite corners of the keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Loy Sent: Monday, September 04, 2017 8:12 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] New JAWS user question about caps lock as JAWS key It is hard to reach the key combinations with the right hand using the insert key, for instance insert and J. j ----- Original Message ----- From: Adrian Spratt To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, September 4, 2017 7:19 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] New JAWS user question about caps lock as JAWS key Hi, Loy. It's completely up to you, but you might want to explain why you find the insert key hard to use in some combinations. Armed with that information, people who use the caps lock instead of insert could give you an idea of whether you might face similar problems with that key. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Loy Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2017 11:21 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] New JAWS user question about caps lock as JAWS key I am a new JAWS user and it is difficult for me to use the insert key with some key strokes, before I change it to the caps lock, I would like to have opinions on using the caps lock as the JAWS key, is there any problems with using it?
