Greetings from friendly Freddy,
You are some what right, you are missing something. And the
something is; that when using a laptop, the jaws commands are alittle
different. Here are a few tables with jaws commands for laptops. If you
listen closely, I think down towards the end of this message you will find
the jaws key command for help. Another suggestion is to hit control plus the
F key to bring up the find and replace dialog box, and then type in the word
help and then hit the enter key. Hit f3 twice and then hit the escape key
and this should bring you to where you want to be. Just use your insert plus
right arrow key, or your insert plus down arrow key to begin reading. Happy
reding!
Laptop Keystrokes
This section contains information on keystrokes specific to the Laptop
keyboard layout. The keyboard layout can be changed in the JAWS Application
Window under the Options menu, in the Basics dialog. Few Laptop systems have
keyboards with a number pad, so many of these functions have been shifted to
the main section of the keyboard. Many of the keystrokes are not much
different from the Desktop keyboard layout. Only those that are totally
different are listed here.
The other keystrokes are all listed in the Desktop keystrokes section. When
using the Laptop keyboard layout, just substitute the CAPS LOCK key for the
INSERT key. For most of those keystrokes, the INSERT key works as well,
however, you may find the CAPS LOCK key is a very easy to use substitute.
Note: MAGic allows you to select which key is used as the MAGic Key. Since
JAWS now provides the same flexibility for the JAWS Key, when the two
products are used together, it is important that the MAGic Key and the JAWS
key are not assigned to the same key. If they are assigned to the same key,
any JAWS commands assigned to a key combination using the JAWS Key are not
activated when the key combination is pressed.
Even if you use a desktop system or keyboard, you may wish to try the Laptop
keyboard layout. When using the Laptop keyboard layout, most of your
commands are right at your fingertips - as you type - so you do not need to
continually switch your right hand to the number pad and back to the main
section of your keyboard

JAWS Key
With most commands, JAWS uses the INSERT key as a "modifier" key. INSERT is
pressed in combination with other keys to activate commands. JAWS now lets
you choose which key to use for this modifier, which we call the JAWS Key.
The keys available to use are:
INSERT
CAPS LOCK
SCROLL LOCK
By default, the INSERT key is set as the JAWS Key in the Desktop keyboard
layout, and the CAPS LOCK key is set as the JAWS key in the Laptop keyboard
layout. So you can change the JAWS Key in two ways. Change to a different
keyboard layout, or change which JAWS key is assigned in a keyboard layout.
Changing the Keyboard Layout
To change the keyboard layout, from the JAWS application window, press ALT+O
to open the Options menu and pres ENTER to open the Basic Settings dialog.
TAB to the Keyboard Layout combo box and use the arrow keys to select the
layout you wish to use.
Assigning a Different JAWS Key
To change the key used as the JAWS key for the active keyboard layout:
>From the JAWS application window, press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu.
Select Configuration Manager and press ENTER.
Press ALT+S, K to open Keyboard options.
TAB to the JAWS Key radio buttons and select the key you want to use as the
modifier key for the active keyboard layout.
Note: MAGic allows you to select which key is used as the MAGic Key. Since
JAWS now provides the same flexibility for the JAWS Key, when the two
products are used together, it is important that the MAGic Key and the JAWS
key are not assigned to the same key. If they are assigned to the same key,
any JAWS commands assigned to a key combination using the JAWS Key are not
activated when the key combination is pressed

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Hotkeys Lisst Command
Okay, maybe I'm missing something.
I'm running a laptop with Windows Vista and JFW 10. On my old desktop, I
could hit insert+h to get the list of hotkeys for a certain program. On a
laptop, this is a rreading command. So, was the hotkey list command
eliminated in JAWS 10, or is it different for a laptop? I checked the
keyboard commands list and found nothing.
Thanks.
