Me neither. But I did recall it, as the subject has come up before, on
lists, and probably here as well. It was also mentioned at some point in
the JAWS training.

I for one thank you although this does not affect me personally I
believe
there are a few folks that will benefit from this information.
I will be honest in saying there is a lot about JAWS that I do not
know,
probably like this it does not impact me directly.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have
evolved from
a simpler system that worked perfectly.

The term you want to use is 'sticky key'. (Toggle is different.) You
may try
JAWS' Insert Key Mode. Press Insert+6, then Ctrl+shift+d for DEFAULT;
then
type in key. one of the results will be Insert Key Mode.
You will check this checkbox.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] making the jaws key a toggle
I am experiencing reduced function in my left hand which gives me some
limitations using the keyboard. I do use Dragon NaturallySpeaking
with
Jay say, but its command structure can only take one so far. Truly,
it
would be incredibly facilitating to have the insert key, or its
alternative, made into a toggle to lock it on or off in order to
reduce
the acrobatics necessary for some keystrokes.
With reduced function I often make mistakes and send jaws into nether
territory which has resulted in a couple of uncorrectable die lemmas.
I'm sure that all of you know exactly what I mean, and I would surely
appreciate your support in approaching freedom scientific to give us
this option. I simply can't imagine that it would be difficult.
To reduce the potential of making a mistake, perhaps multiple
keystrokes on the jaws key would initiate the toggle. This should
prevent any inadvertent switching, which I acknowledge could become
extremely confusing.
I guess, in looking for unique keystrokes that may be necessary for
access in the future, all of us may have to look at sequential
keystrokes to open new options.
A belated happy new year to all.
Geoff
