Hi, George. I think you mean the Windows key rather than control in this combination. I checked before posting, but in the process discovered something. I turned on JAWS key identifier mode (I hope this is the right term) with JAWS key-1 and pressed the combo you report here. Nothing happened, and no description. Then I tried the JAWS key-Windows key-F4 combo. Instead of telling me what it does, the operation was performed, i.e., JAWS unloaded and reloaded.

This assumes that JAWS is still running at the time but gone silent. George A.

No matter the program the process is the same. We seem to be getting a lot of former window eyes people on here and this discussion often comes up. Thanks for giving me the notion as it would be very easy to do but obviously important for somebody who does not know the procedure. I'll post when it is on the server, so stay tuned folks. -----Original Message----- From: Judy Jones Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2018 4:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Making a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS Oh, thanks!

You can hit alt-enter on any file, including a desktop shortcut, to see and edit its properties, instead of going through the context menu. Doesn't save a lot of time or anything, but it's handy to know these things. There sure are a lot of windows keyboard commands. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: February 24, 2018 4:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Making a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS Matt: We typically use the shortcut command Alt Control J. If you can find Jaws listed as a program on your desktop or in your start menu, then hit the applications key, and use your arrow keys until you find properties. Hit enter on properties, and hopefully, you'll be at the shortcut page. By tabbing through the list of options, you'll find a place to enter that shortcut key. You may have to hit apply and ultimately ok, but once the shortcut is saved, you then should be able to start Jaws with that shortcut command if needed. You can also set Jaws to start automatically when your computer boots, but that may be going beyond what you are asking here.

I'm one of those former Window-Eyes users who went kicking and screaming over to JAWS. All that said, I only just yesterday started using JAWS for the first time. Anyway, my question is: Is there a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS if it and some other software don't play nice together? I'm asking because I'm an amateur radio operator (ham) and use an interface with a radio that when plugged into my PC, takes all the sound away, including JAWS. At that point, I need to restart JAWS, but see no keyboard shortcut to do this. Thoughts?
