Re: [JAWS-Users] lost some key commands
From my own experiences with IE, there is no setting or combination of settings that could cause the Alt + key hotkeys to stop working because that is a function of Windows, not the application. So I'd do the reset only as a last resort. Just my opinion. Cheers! On 12/14/2016 3:31 PM, Adrian Spratt wrote: Andy, as I understand your post, you can't get the alt key to work at all in IE11.

Re: [JAWS-Users] lost some key commands
Andy, as I understand your post, you can't get the alt key to work at all in IE11. I was hoping someone better informed would respond, but not so far. I have a feeling you may need to do an IE reset. You get to this option while in IE as follows: Alt-t for tools O for options Control-tab to "Advanced." Tab to "Reset." However, I don't fully understand the impact doing a reset will have, and I've never had to do it myself.

Re: [JAWS-Users] lost some key commands
Hi Andy! What browser are you using? In Internet Explorer Alt + A gets you the favorites, while Alt + F gives you the file menu. In Firefox, Alt + B gets you the bookmarks, while Alt + F gives you the file menu, just as in Internet Explorer. hth Cheers!
