Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about lap top jaws curser keys:
Angel,
First of all, be sure you have the jaws program set to use the laptop
keyboard and not the desktop.
You do this in the jaws menu, jaws key plus letter j,
Then o for options and B for basics and tab to the control for use
keyboard
layout and down arrow to classic laptop and then tab to okay.
For the keyboard commands:
Go to jaws help,
Insert J,
Then h for help
Then down arrow to jaws keyboard command and right arrow on laptop
keyboard
Now do a F6 to go to the screen where you can read the information about
the
various jaws laptop commands
You can highlight all the text and copy it to the clipboard and then paste
it into a word or word pad document for reference.
Also, with the laptop on, go to keyboard help
Jaws key plus number 1 on the numbers row and try using the jaws key plus
any other key combination to hear which key does what.
On my sony laptop, the insert or jaws key (second key in from the right
on
the top row of the keyboard or just to the right of the pause key or two
keys to the right of the F11 key) is the jaws key as is the cap lock key.
It may be different on your brand.
Below is a copy of the pages in jaws help for laptop commands, but there
are
more and you can find them.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Question about lap top jaws curser keys:
I just got a refurbished lap top computer. Now, I never owned a lap top
before. I know the lap top keyboard configuration uses the caps lock key
for the Jaws key. As my lap top keyboard doesn't have a num pad, how does
one access the jaws, pc, and invisible cursers. Which keys does one press
along with the caps lock key?
