Hi Arianna. I have always found that the first key on the bottom
left of a laptop was the control key.
Cheers!
Michele

Mike,
The first bottom key on the left of the keyboard was always the
FN key. On
my Lenovo that key says help. Where then is the FN key?

Hi Arianna,
On my wife's Lenovo 540 the keystroke is, FN key + escape to
disable /
enable the function keys. Below is a list of what the function
keys do,
possibly for yours as well. Also, here are steps that might
help disable
your mouse pad.
ustomizing the ThinkPad pointing device
You can customize the ThinkPad pointing device to achieve the
extended
functions of the ThinkPad
pointing device.
To customize the ThinkPad pointing device, do the following:
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Click Hardware and Sound . Mouse . ThinkPad.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
I don't know if the following is the same as on your laptop but,
here is
the
function key functions on a Lenovo 500s
f1: Mutes/unmutes the sound.
f2: Decreases the volume level.
f3: Increases the volume level.
f4: Closes the currently active window.
f5: Refreshes the desktop or the currently active window.
f6: Enables/disables the touchpad and the touchpad buttons.
f7: Enables/disables airplane mode. (Wireless)
f8: Switches the active program.
f9: Turns on/off the backlight of the display.
f10: Projects to a connected display.
f11: Decreases display brightness.
f12: Increases display brightness.
Hopefully this info is helpful.
Take care.
Mike

Mike, I'm using a Lenovo and for the life of me, I can't disable
that
mousepad. What normally shows up in the properties work sheet
doesn't
show
up in my two Lenovos.
I've tried f6 and f8 and neither one of those does it.
Any other suggestions?
Arianna

Hi Michele,
What brand of laptop are you using? Diffeerent brands / makers
will have
different keystrokes for disabling / enabling the function keys,
from
what
I
understand.
Take care.
Mike

On my gateway laptop function key 6 on the numeric key row
toggles the
on/off touch pad.

Hi users. I have noticed that when I press the function key
plus f5
on my laptop to enable the mouse pad, JAWS does not let me know
it
has occurred; nor does it let me know if the procedure has been
disabled. Is this standard or is there something else I need to
change in the settings centre in order for JAWS to make these
announcements?
Thanks.
Michele
