Hi, Several months ago, some kind soul on one of my lists posted this and I found it to be quite useful for laptop users so hope it helps.

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 Laptop Keystrokes For Reading Text: Say Character CAPS LOCK+COMMA Say Prior Character CAPS LOCK+M Say Next Character CAPS LOCK+PERIOD Say Word CAPS LOCK+K Spell Word CAPS LOCK+K twice quickly Say Prior Word CAPS LOCK+J Say Next Word CAPS LOCK+L Say Line CAPS LOCK+I Spell Line CAPS LOCK+UP ARROW twice quickly Say Prior Line CAPS LOCK+U Say Next Line CAPS LOCK+O Say Sentence CAPS LOCK+H Say Prior Sentence CAPS LOCK+Y Say Next Sentence CAPS LOCK+N Say Paragraph CAPS LOCK+CTRL +I Say Prior Paragraph CAPS LOCK+CTRL+ U Say Next Paragraph CAPS LOCK+CTRL+ O Say to Cursor CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+J Say from Cursor CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+L Say All CAPS LOCK+A Rewind During a Say All LEFT ARROW Fast Forward During a Say All RIGHT ARROW Say Color CAPS LOCK+5 Say Font CAPS LOCK+F Start Skim Reading CTRL+CAPS LOCK+DOWN ARROW Change Skim Reading Preferences CTRL+SHIFT+CAPS LOCK+DOWN ARROW For Temporarily Changing Voice Rate During Say All: Increase Voice Rate PAGE UP Decrease Voice Rate PAGE DOWN When not in Say All: Increase Voice Rate ALT+CTRL+PAGE UP Decrease Voice Rate ALT+CTRL+PAGE DOWN Restore Normal Voice Settings CAPS LOCK+ESC Informational: Interrupt Speech CTRL Say Window Title CAPS LOCK+T Say Window Prompt and Text CAPS LOCK+TAB JAWS Find CAPS LOCK+ CTRL +F JAWS Find Next CAPS LOCK+F3 JAWS Find Previous CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+F3 Say Top Line of Window CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+Y Say Bottom Line of Window CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+N Say Selected Text CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+A Get Application Version CAPS LOCK+CTRL +V For Cursors: PC Cursor CAPS LOCK+SEMICOLON JAWS Cursor CAPS LOCK+P Route PC Cursor to JAWS Cursor CAPS LOCK+APOSTROPHE Route JAWS Cursor to PC Cursor CAPS LOCK+LEFT BRACKET Left Mouse Button CAPS LOCK+8 Right Mouse Button CAPS LOCK+9 Left Mouse Button Lock CTRL+8 Drag and Drop CAPS LOCK+CTRL +8 Restrict JAWS Cursor CAPS LOCK+R For Dialog Boxes: Say Default Button of Dialog Box CAPS LOCK+E Read Current Window CAPS LOCK+B Read Word in Context CAPS LOCK+C Say Current Control Hot Key CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+COMMA Open Combo Box ALT+DOWN ARROW Close Combo Box ALT+UP ARROW Announce Progress Bar Status INSERT+TAB For Help: Screen Sensitive Help CAPS LOCK+F1 Keyboard Help CAPS LOCK+1 JAWS Help for Applications CAPS LOCK+F1 twice quickly Hot Key Help INSERT+H Window Key Help CAPS LOCK+W Miscellaneous: JAWS Window INSERT+J Refresh Screen CAPS LOCK+ESC Adjust JAWS Verbosity CAPS LOCK+V Run JAWS Manager CAPS LOCK+F2 Shut Down JAWS CAPS LOCK+F4 Window List Dialog CAPS LOCK+F10 Select a System Tray Icon Dialog CAPS LOCK+F11 Say System Time CAPS LOCK+F12 Say System Date CAPS LOCK+F12 twice quickly Graphics Labeler CAPS LOCK+G AutoGraphics Labeler CAPS LOCK+ CTRL +G Pass Key Through CAPS LOCK+3 Select Scheme CAPS LOCK+ALT+S Select Language WINDOWS KEY+CTRL+L or CAPS LOCK+CTRL+L Select Synthesizer CAPS LOCK+CTRL+S Virtualize Window CAPS LOCK+CTRL+W Read Columns 1-10 of a List View CTRL+CAPS LOCK+1 through 0 Copy Selected Text to FSClipboard WINDOWS Key+C For Frames: Frame Get Top Left CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT BRACKET Frame Get Bottom Right CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT BRACKET Frame Set to Window CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT BRACKET twice quickly In friendship, Fina [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arianna Calesso" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 11:29 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Laptop command for reading current line > The subject line asks my question. > > Arianna > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > > __________ NOD32 4246 (20090715) Information __________ > > This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. > http://www.eset.com > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
