Hi
If you use laptop layout, you can issue insert+j by pressing ctrl+shift+caps lock+j. The ctrl+shift+caps lock emulates the insert key, handy if you're using a laptop that has a retarded insert key location or none at all. This is however not an alternative insert key modifyer - it doesn't work with t for say window title, for instance.. It's specifically for insert+j where you don't have an insert key. This is pretty much the only key combination that requires the insert key though, if you have laptop layout, and thus the biggest combination you might need it for.
That said, I still use insert when I want to press j even though I use laptop layout. This is because with laptop layout, caps lock j goes left by word - caps lock j emulates the same thing that num pad0+num pad4 does with desktop layout (say prior word). I have the caps lock shift ctrl j option but it's more natural for me to reach for insert with the right hand, then hit j with the left pointer finger. Not a standard acceptable contortion for touch typist such as myself, but it works.

It's completely up to you, but you might want to explain why you find the insert key hard to use in some combinations. Armed with that information, people who use the caps lock instead of insert could give you an idea of whether you might face similar problems with that key. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Loy Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2017 11:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] New JAWS user question about caps lock as JAWS key I am a new JAWS user and it is difficult for me to use the insert key with some key strokes, before I change it to the caps lock, I would like to have opinions on using the caps lock as the JAWS key, is there any problems with using it?
