I admit to not being very technically minded, but I'm finding it
harder in JAWS12 to change some of my keys on my keyboard so as not to
speak. i.e. I don't want to hear the tab key or the enter key or escape
key spoken when pressed.

Hi Jim,
We have moved away from the traditional Config Manager and put these into the
"Settings Center". Read the description below and experiment with the settings
center using the new search option to find these items. I think you'll get the hang of it.

Settings Center
JAWS Settings Center is a new feature that allows you to quickly configure and
globally apply JAWS settings, or configure and apply settings for a specific
application. It consolidates all options into one convenient dialog box. It
includes a Search edit box, which provides an extremely fast way to find and
edit JAWS functionality. Settings Center continues to use JCF files and is a
direct replacement for Configuration Manager.
Settings Center consists of six primary areas described below. Press TAB or
SHIFT+TAB to move through different parts of the dialog box.
* Application combo box: Select an application from the list to modify
its settings for use with JAWS. To retrieve the JAWS default settings, press
CTRL+SHIFT+D. To retrieve application settings, press SHIFT+TAB to move focus
to the Application combo box. Next, select the application from the combo box,
and then press TAB to move focus back to the tree view pane.
* Search edit box: Press CTRL+E to move focus to the Search box. Type a
search word or phrase in the edit box to reduce the number of items that appear
in the tree view list. Press DOWN ARROW to move to search results, and then
press ENTER to move focus directly to that item in the tree view.
* Settings tree view pane: Use the tree view pane to select and change
settings for the selected application. To retrieve the JAWS default settings,
press CTRL+SHIFT+D. To retrieve application settings, press SHIFT+TAB twice to
move focus to the Application combo box. Next, select the application from the
combo box, and then press TAB to move focus back to the tree view pane. For a
brief description of the item selected in the tree view, press TAB to move
focus to the read-only edit box. Use the Say Line or Say All commands to read
the help message. To vertically scroll through the tree view, use the UP and
DOWN ARROW keys, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys, or first letter navigation. Use
the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to expand or collapse tree view groups. Use the
SPACEBAR to move through and change settings for each option.
* Configuration display pane: As you move through the tree view, a
sighted user can simultaneously track cursor movement using the configuration
display pane. Press F6 to switch between the tree view and this pane. This is
necessary when typing in an edit or edit spin box.
* Help message pane: Displays context-sensitive help for the item
currently selected in the tree view. Use the Say Line or Say All commands to
read the help message.
* Apply, OK, and Cancel: Use Apply to make changes. Use OK to save
changes and close Settings Center. Use Cancel to close Settings Center without
saving changes.
To use Settings Center, do the following:
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. Settings appear for the
application that has focus. The cursor is in the Search edit box.
2. If you know the setting that you want to change, type a term for it in the edit
box. For example, type the word "braille" without the quotes for a filtered
list of braille settings. Next, press DOWN ARROW to move to the filtered results in the
tree view.
Note: To load the default JAWS settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+D, and then search
for the setting as previously described.
To select a different application, press SHIFT+TAB to move to the Application
edit box. Use ARROW Keys or first letter navigation to select the application,
and then press CTRL+E to search for the setting as previously described.
3. Press SPACEBAR to select check boxes, radio buttons, or other buttons,
and press F6 to switch between an edit box and the tree view to change settings.
4. Choose Apply to apply changes and remain in Settings Center, OK to save
changes and exit Settings Center, or Cancel to close Settings Center without
saving changes. The new settings are saved to the appropriate JCF file.

Erick, I have had some trouble with forms mode. I want it off, and I have
had trouble getting it that way. also, I want to uncheck blocked quotes.
Where is that? I couldn't find it. also, I want some translation in numbers.
Again, Where is that? Jim
