Hi, you actually have to change the JAWS hot key through the icon's properties, not the programme's properties itself. So to do this, first press windows m to minimize all applications and place focus on the desktop. Next, press j until you hear JAWS, and press alt enter to open the JAWS properties dialogue box. Finally, tab twice to the hot key field, and press a hot key, such as control alt j. (In fact, simply pressing j will be enough to perform the control alt j insertion.) Finally, press enter to save your changes. Hope this helps.
