You might have to first go into the properties of the JAWS 117 icon and
delete the existing shortcut key there, then add the shortcut key to the
JAWS 18 icon.
I don't know if Windows is smart enough to remove it for you when you
add it to the JAWS 18 icon.
Cheers!

You would do the same exact thing, but just focus on the jaws 18 icon.

Hi thanks for the good information how to make the short cut key. I have one
question if we have it for Jaws 17 and want to change it to Jaws 18 how
should we do this Louise and princess Kiara

Hi Fred,
Here's another approach.
1. Go to the Desktop with, Windows key + M.
2. Highlight the JAWS icon.
3. Press, Alt + Enter, to open the JAWS Properties.
4. Tab to the Shortcut key field, and type in the shortcut key combination
of your choice, like Alt-Control-J or whatever other combination you prefer.
5. Tab to Apply button, hit Space, then tab around again to the Okay button
and press Enter.
I have always had the best luck by 1st, Applying then Okaying in making
shortcut keys stick.
Take care.
Mike

Fred,
This JAWS shortcut is notoriously fickle. Try this, which works on my
system. Follow Ed's steps exactly up to and including where you confirm that
your choice of shortcut has been accepted. Then, instead of going to the
okay button and pressing enter, press escape to get out of the dialog. Ed is
correct, but I've found that taking that extra step to the Okay button often
undoes the shortcut. I have no idea why this is, but I recall others
reporting a similar experience.
A couple of points just to be sure. Note that Ed said just to type "j."
Control and alt are assumed unless you type some other key. So adding the
control and alt keys would risk sending the shortcut dialog into a tantrum.
Also, Ed suggested using insert-tab to confirm the shortcut has been
entered. I'm sure he's right, but that isn't the key combination I use. In
my case, it's JAWS key+8 on the numpad.
I automatically reboot after pressing escape.

Mr Ed, I have done all that you mentioned several times but to no avail. I
might just have to call freedomscientific. Thanks for the info and hope you
are doing well.

Hi Fred,
I assumed you went to the Jaws 18 icon on the desktop and pressed the
application key and went to properties.
Then you tab to short cut and press the letter J. Then do the insert + tab
key to hear that the shortcut key is ctrl + alt+ J. Then tab to ok. Then I
am not sure on this but you might have to reboot your pc for this change to
take place. I guess you can try it first then if it does not work reboot
your pc.
Mr. Ed

I am using W10, outlook 2010 and jaws 18 and I cannot get jaws to work using
the control alt "J" keystroke. I have changed to different letters and
numbers but no luck. I even went as far as to unstall and reinstall jaws
18. I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks much,
