actually that is not always correct. One may set up jaws in a number of configurations. One is desktop set up another is laptop configuration. The jaws key, when in the laptop configuration, is defined as the caplock key. So, you see the key that is configured to performe jaws commands is the jaws key. The Jaws key then, depends on weather one is using the desktop or the laptop setup. When using the laptop configuration the number keypad is not used, because most laptop computers don't have a number keypad. Thus, the most usual jaws key for the laptop computer is the caplock key.

But, on the other hand, not to get the 2 confused, the, Jaws Key is the, Insert Key, the, 0, key on the NumPad. HTH Take care.

I finally remembered the keystroke / function, it's tethering the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor. This makes the Jaws cursor follow the PC cursor. The keystroke is, Control, Insert, + NumPad minus / Jaws cursor button. This keystroke is a toggle so it turns this function on & off. Thanks again. Take care.
