Re: [JAWS-Users] Interference by letter G

2017-03-08 Thread Judy Jones
Okay, that makes sense.  I didn't think so, I was spot on with the G key,
and this does not always happen with the G key, so I have been unable to
assess what triggers the misbehavior.
  Feedback definitely appreciated.

Judy

Judy,
In case my previous messages did not get through clearly, your laptop very
likely have a very shallow rubber touched it located slightly below the G
and H keys, nested between them. I suspect you were accidentally hitting
that stick

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

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.

Sounds like you have a dodgy switch under your keyboard's letter G.
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Interference by letter G

2017-03-08 Thread Reed
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.

Try a different keyboard. 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.

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.

Sounds like you have a dodgy switch under your keyboard's letter G.
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.
