Flor, I did as you instructed, but I don't see any way to assign a sticky
function to the insert key. Perhaps I misunderstood you.
It was very kind of you to take the time to look this over and make a
suggestion.

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.
