Hi John, I asked the question, but differently to this list because I didn't know you were a member of this list. Anyways it seems there's a work around, & I'll post it below.
From: Bissett, Tom Hi Mike B , if you are familiar with the script manager you can make this change. Open the script manager, open the default script with control shift D Look for Script SaySystemTime () You need to remove a few lines. Rather than removing the lines you can comment them out by placing a ; at the beginning of the line Script SaySystemTime () var string sTimeOrDate if GetRunningFSProducts() == product_MAGic && IsSpeechOff() then ExMessageBox(FormatString(cMsgGetSysTimeAndDate,SysGetTime(),SysGetDate()), cscNull,MB_ICONINFORMATION) return endIf ;If (IsSameScript ()) then Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysDate, SysGetDate ()) SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, sTimeOrDate, ot_user_requested_information) ;Else Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysTime, SysGetTime ()) ;endIf SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, sTimeOrDate, ot_user_requested_information) EndScript Then copy the line SayUsingVoice ( VCTX_MESSAGE, sTimeOrDate, ot_user_requested_information) And insert it just after Let sTimeOrDate = FormatString (cmsgGetSysDate, SysGetDate ()) Compile the script with JawsKey S Regards Tom Bisset Take care.

In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: John O'Regan To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2017 12:40 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How can I lock the JAWS key? Dear List, Imagine you had one hand and you could only press one key at a time. In NVDA, you could turn on Sticky Keys by pressing Shift 5 times and then lock the NVDA key by pressing it twice. This would enable you to press F12 twice quickly to hear the date (and not the time). Is it possible to do the same in JAWS? And yes, I know all about Settings Centre > Default > User > Insert Key Mode. It doesn't work. And don't tell me to use my thumb and forefinger. I want to know if it's possible to make JAWS speak the date by pressing only one key at a time. TIA!
