Re: [JAWS-Users] Lenovo and jaws
Hi. I forgot to answer your other question. The keyboard shortcut list you posted below is completely consistent with my T480s, so likely as they're both Think Pads it's good for your e500 what ever you said it is. Also, I noticed a reference to f11 opening a keyboard control thing. I tried that here and it opened Lenovo Vantage on the input section, which is where you go if you want to swap your fn and control keys or toggle what the function keys do by default and such.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Lenovo and jaws
Hi. On my Think Pad t480s, and I believe that all of the modern think pads are similar so this may be useful to you, home to the right of 12, end is to the right of home, insert is to the right of end, and then delete is in the top right next to insert. page up and page down are located to the left and right of the up arrow respectively. note also that you can get home and end with fn and left or right arrow, which given their relational position to the page up and page down makes good sense. fn up and down arrow don't give you page up or page down though, which, as page up and page down are already pretty close to there, doesn't really pose an issue. To be honest, it's a really odd layout, I prefer the vertical six pack going down the right end of the keyboard at least on systems with no num pad. Also, if you have a print screen button between right alt and right control, you can remap that to the context menu. You may be able to do it with the lenovo settings app in control panel or just use sharp keys, it's a free download and you can get a portable copy of sharp keys, no need to install it or anything. lastly, if your fn and control keys are backwards, e.g. fn is in bottom left and control is to the right of that, and you would prefer to swap it around to be more consistent with other windows laptops, you can do that in lenovo vantage under hardware settings and input. You can also do that in lenovo settings in control panel. Hope this helps. Cheers: Aaron Spears, A.K.A. valiant8086.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Lenovo and jaws
A better man than I has been heard to say, "When in doubt, read the documentation." So, the real answer here is to do a Google search for the make/model of the pc and check the user manual. It will tell you what the FN-key combos do on your specific unit. As you have seen, they differ from unit to unit. Reed -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of ?a?a???t?? ??t???p?

Hi. My Think Pad t480s follows the first list, my Yoga 2 pro follows the second. So I think the think pads may use the first list and the idea pads which the Yoga 2 pro is one of, follow the second list, possibly? Cheers: Aaron Spears, A.K.A. valiant8086.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Lenovo and jaws
Hi. f1 mute, f2 volume down, f3 volume up, um, I can't remember the rest. lol. If it's a think pad, fn and the arrow keys emulate home and end but fn up and down arrows doesn't work, that's because page up and page down are to the left and right of the up arrow key anyway. At least on my T480s that's how it is. Cheers: Aaron Spears, A.K.A. valiant8086.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Lenovo and jaws
Lenovo can also supply laptop user manuals in a relatively accessible HTML format on request. I can't find the web page at the moment, but there's a contact e-mail address for the department that deals with compliance with accessibility-related regulations and standards. That's the department which offers the HTML documentation. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Mike B.
