After getting into the Default Settings Center, and finding the Insert
Key Mode dialogue: When you tab to the checkbox and check it, with
SPACEBAR, it becomes checked. (By default it was not checked. After
that, press the tab key once and read the associated help tip), Then
TAB to and activate the Apply Button or the OK button (if you want to
set it). Now whenever you press the Insert key, no matter how long you
take to press the next key, JAWS will treat both the INSERT Key and the
next keypress as if they were parts of the one JAWS command. (Try it now
with the insert key t.) Do the same steps again (but unchecking the
checkbox) if you want to reverse this.

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.
