Hello. Unfortunately there is not other than searching this archive for
the basics, and to use the Window-Eyes key describer. However the
following is a basic list. For more specifics, you will have to play
around a little with the key describer.
While holding the fn-key down the following keys are the number pad
equivalently.
m 0
j 1
k 2
l 3
u 4
i 5
o 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
Where it gets different is the 4 keys to the right side of these. The
keys I'm talking about are the 0 p semi and slash keys. Sometimes going
from top to bottom they are number pad plus minus star and slash.
However on my netbook they are different. I had to just use the key
describer to figure it out. The cool thing is that on my netbook, the
slash is the slash so that makes it easy to remember. If I need to do a
left click, I hold down fn-key-slash and that does the number pad slash
key, giving me a left click. If I want to read the current line of the
cursor, normally control-numpad-5, I hold fn-key-control-i.
Hope this helps.

Is there somewhere I can find a list of which keys do what when using the
FN-Key. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro. I checked out the user's manual,
and well, it tells you all about the FN-Key and what everything doses, but
Window-Eyes reads the PDF document just fine--just not all the little
pictures that are on the keys.
Do the FN-Key functions change from labtop model to laptop model, or are
they fairly consistent from laptop to laptop?
I know which keys are supposed to be the numpad keys, but which key is the
numbers lock??? Also, does it default to on or off each time you restart,
or is it just set to whatever it was on last?
Thanks in advance to anyone to can help!

Hello Bob, you will want to check out appendix a of the Window-Eyes
manual which shows the layout for the various keyboards. I personally
use the default layout and make extensive use of the fn-key which is the
second key from left to right on the bottom left part of your keyboard.
Manny thanks.

OK, I just bought an Asus netbook, installed Window-eyes, and changed to
Laptop keyboard layout. How do I activate my WE cursor in order to
manually read the screen?
Not sure as I never extensively used a laptop until now.
