The minus key on the number row of the keyboard is a different key to the numpad minus key, which would generally, in jaws using desktop keyboard layout, be the jaws cursor key, but, if you do have numlock turned on, then I think the numpad minus key then also counts as/works as the number row minus key, and, then the normal jaws key would then count as 0 instead of being the jaws key, but anyway.

This is just why pushing the jaws key + number row minus key will act differently from hitting the jaws key + the numpad minus key.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question


To any and All:

I have a question regarding the JAWS cursor functions. On several of the instructions that have been given over time, there has been mentioning of routing the JAWS cursor to PC cursor. My question is this: What is the difference, function-wise, between pressing the JAWS Key plus the Minus key on the numpad and simply pressing the minus key? Hope my phrasing makes sense to someone.

Many thanks.

Jerry
