Oh, absolutely! I have heard a number of trainers tell people that they had to have a number pad for JAWS to work properly. I'm glad you're not doing this. By the way, on the point of touch screens, I think JAWS does disable all other gestures but its own. My husband has tried to use my touch screen with JAWS running, and normal gestures do not work much to his frustration. There are actually many JAWS users out there who are using tablets with bluetooth keyboards because it's a cheap computer. I've taught a couple of people to do this, and it has worked quite well for their needs. I certainly don't mean to be hard on you. I just don't like to see people misinformed.

I just tend to teach to match that individual's hardware. I make them aware that there are dedicated laptop keystrokes in case they ever find themselves doing a switch to that sort of laptop, but I don't teach those because I can't see the point at the time that they don't have to use them (and we've got the desktop ones for them to master).
