Hi I don't know if JAWS scripts for vlc media player are available, but if they are available, they would most likely let control+up arrow and control+down arrow get through to the application and let the volume be changed. But using the JAWS default scripts, these keystrokes are used by JAWS to perform other functions. A work-around when using JAWS with vlc media player is to press JAWSkey+number row 3 every time immediately before pressing control+up arrow or control+down arrow. Pressing JAWSkey+number row 3 tells JAWS to not do anything with the next keystroke, but pass it on to the active application. This will let you change the volume using these keystrokes while using JAWS.

I use vlc to play my media files. when using jaws hitting control up and down arrow should let me raise and lower volume but when using jaws it does not it minimizes the program putting me on the desktop but with NVDA these shortcuts work. how do i get them to also work the right way with jaws so i don't have to switch back and forth between jaws and NVDA as much?
