Kimber, in my experience, when you attempt to assign the hotkey using
the control+alt keys, just press the letter because control+alt is the
assumed modifier Windows believes you want to use plus the letter you
type. for example, you want to use control+alt+j as the hotkey to start
JAWS, just press the letter j when you get to the field to assign the
shortcut.
if you want to use a diferent combination, that's when you have to press
all the keys you want. for example, you want to use control+shift+j
instead, press all three keys to overide the default of control+alt+ the
letter of your choice.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
Hi All,
I had control-alt-J assigned as my hotkey for jaws 16, but I wanted to
reassign it to jaws 17. I went into properties under jaws 16 and
deleted the key assignment, only each time I try assigning that key
combo to jaws 17 in the property dialogue, instead of assigning the
keystroke it starts up jaws 16.
When I open the property dialogue under 16, it shows no hotkey
assigned. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Kimber
