On the desktop shortcut to JAWS10, alt+enter, and then tab through and press the letter j. If a dong is heard, then j cannot be applied here. If a dong is not heard, tab through straight to OK and hit enter. DO NOT HIT SHIFT-TAB as that will in effect undo it. If after all that it didn't take, use a different combination (like ctrl-shift-j, or alt-shift-j, or shift-ctrl-alt-j, or some other suitable combo that might involve the version name or number.) Finally, if it can't work, use narrator or another screen reader to help in doing it. Using narrator, it will work, and it seems to me that you can shift-tab then if you must.
Gentle reminder: This topic has been beaten to death many times over the past two years, and there are copious amounts of emails on it in the list archive. This problem is not new, and has not really been solved either. What I've offered above are 'best practices' based on my experience and others verified reports on what routines work reliably. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <[email protected]> To: "jaws-users-list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 8:20 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws hot key not working Hi All, We created a hot key for Jaws 10.x through the properties shortcut page on a friends computer. When she unloads Jaws with the Insert + F4 key stroke, then tries to restart with control, alt, + J keystroke nothing happens. She then has to reboot the computer to get Jaws running again. What are we doing wrong. She is running XP Pro & Jaws 10.x. All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.
