JoAnne,

Read the Jaws help on laptop keyboard layouts. Basically, the main changes are caps-loc is the Jaws key, and the Jaws-to-Pc, Pc-to-Jaws key, and mouse emulations are what's changed.

Generally, you will still have your control and alt keys, although you may only have them on the left side. There may also be a function switch key there. All laptops aren't layed out the same so use your Jaws key with the 1 to turn keyboard help on to help you identify keys. ----- Original Message ----- From: "joanne" <[email protected]>

Subject: [JAWS-Users] would like instructions for how to use Jaws on a laptop


I do use a regular keyboard with my laptop, since I'm used to that layout and of course the function keys and insert key are easy to find and use with Jaws. But should I ever really need to--which I hope will not be often--, is there a tutorial or list of hot keys and where they might be located on a laptop? For instance, I have heard you can't use the insert key and I'm not really sure where it is anyway. Not really even sure where control keys or start menu keys, etc. are, and by luck I found the arrow keys. But I would like to learn my way around a laptop and learn what keys would be Jaws specific.

Thanks for any help.

Joanne
