Just a suggestion is to assign your Jaws hotkey according to the version you have. For example I have 3 different versions of Jaws on my PC. Jaws 15, 16 and 17. I have a hotkey for Jaws 15 as alt control 5, Jaws 16 as alt control 6 and so on.
Not sure why you would be having a problem assigning a hotkey for Jaws 17 but remember that a hotkey can be assigned to the icon on the desk top and to the properties of Jaws in your start menu. Both places need to have the hotkey deleted. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2016 6:32 AM To: jaws-users-list <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17 Hi All, I had control-alt-J assigned as my hotkey for jaws 16, but I wanted to reassign it to jaws 17. I went into properties under jaws 16 and deleted the key assignment, only each time I try assigning that key combo to jaws 17 in the property dialogue, instead of assigning the keystroke it starts up jaws 16. When I open the property dialogue under 16, it shows no hotkey assigned. What am I missing?
