Re: [JAWS-Users] Keystroke Functionn, How Do I Change 1

Another possibility is that it could be what's known as the F Lock key, which is a toggle key between different function key modes. (JAWS probably won't speak it when pressed with any other key. It may already have been reassigned, or turned off, by the former owner.) )

Mike,


is there a model name/number  for the keyboard, do you know? Then 
perhaps we can get a description of this kiey's functionality  from 
somewhere. Do you have sufficient contact details (email addy, etc.) 
for the selling owner? Does the keyboard have an Applications key, and 
where is it? (It should be next the right-windows key if that's 
present, which it seems to be.)

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your reply.  I tried Jaws keyboard help using several
keystrokes with this, folders key, & Jaws didn't once mention this
particulaar key.
Take care.
Mike

Hi


One thing you can try is the turn on the keyboard help mode by 
pressing
JAWSkey+numrow 1.  Then press the key to see what JAWS says it is. 
If it
doesn't say anything, try pressing and holding it and press a letter 
key to
see what is says.  If JAWS recognizes the key, it will say 
KeyName+letter.
But if it just says the letter, it is probably something like the FN 
key
that never gets past to Windows.  In that case, I doubt you can map 
it to
something else.  Type JAWSkey+numrow 1 again to turn off keyboard 
help mode.
If JAWS does say what the key is, you can try creating a Default.jkm 
file in

your JAWS user settings directory and include entries like

[Common Keys]
KeyName=ScriptName


Where ScriptName is the name of a script found in the Default.JSS 
file in
the JAWS shared settings folder.  This Default.jkm file will not 
interfere
with the JAWS sup[plied Default.jkm file.  As far as I know, the 
shift, caps

lock, control, windows and alt keys cannot be mapped in a JKM file.

Hi All,


I'm running XP Pro, Jaws 13 thru 15, & a Microsoft Desktop 3000 
wireless
keyboard.  In the place where the right Windows Key is normally, 
there is a
button / key with a picture of 3 folders.  I have no clue as to what 
this

key does.  Is there any way to change the function of this key to the

function of a Windows Key?  Or, is there a way of swapping the 
functions of

the left Windows Key and the key with the key with the pictures of 3

folders?  All advice & help will be greatly appreciated!  Thank you 
all

very, very much.

Take care.
Mike
