Hi Jorge, As Flor mentioned, what you are describing is known as a shortcut key entirely different from a quick key. These are known as shortcut keys, because they are tied to a shortcut , such as what is found on the desktop or start menu. When you assign a key combination to one such as, "control alt J" to Jaws, you are assigning a shortcut key, not a quick key. If you open the properties for the Jaws shortcut on the desktop,, you should find yourself on the shortcut page and if you tab, you will hear shortcut key, hotkey when you reach that edit field. I am only pointing this out so that we can keep the terminology correct for those members who are new to Windows and Jaws.

Like, when I shut jaws off with insert + F4, I can bring jaws back with the quick key of, control + alt + J and then enter. Otherwise, you will have to Shut down and restart to bring jaws up again. That was the old way I was using to bring jaws up again after I shut it down, until I learned to set a quick key command for jaws. If, you don't set up a quick key command, you'll never bring it back, unless you can pull a rabbit out of a hat LOL! And it works for any program in your start menu. If, I want, I can go to any program with a quick command, without using the desktop command. That's what I thought was the question asked?

When, the screen changes: Tab to the box that is asking for the quick command. If, it is Jaws, just press control + J and the alt is added automatically. Now, tab down to apply, then shift + tab up to OK and press the spacebar.
