One way i do it is placing one finger on the insert key, and my thumb on the windows key and another finger on the F4 key. so, one hand using one finger and the other hand using 2 fingers.

Hi. Jaws_key- windows_key- F4 is great but my fingers have to do some major feeling up and tough gymnastics all over the kbd. Each of the 3 keys are as far away from each other as possible. Is there a way for me on a windows7 JFW12 PC to make a more ergo ctrol-alt shortcut for the jaws_key- windows_key- F4 combo?

I do not know this for sure but what i remembered reading is that jawskey+f4 will just exit jaws regulary as if you did alt+f4 on the jaws application widnow, asking if you want to really close out jaws. what I called the "emergency exit command" - and learned was jawskey+windowsKey+f4 closes down all processes connected to jaws without asking confirmation. I find that especially if running jaws as a service - using "start jaws when windows starts" - I am unable to close down jaws from the task manager when it crashes. This sometimes hapepns that I lose speech and the jaws widnow might even disappear but jaws is still in the list of running tasks and cannot be shut down. I am hoping that this "emergency exit" command can be used in this case. I will try this the next time i have such a crash - if I can get my+ fingers worked into the right knot to do the winkey+jawskey+f4 Thanks to everyone for replying and refreshing my memory btw! I really appreciate this.
