Jason, Try rebooting your system after you go through the process of reassigning a new hot key and see if that works. - Eliminate annoying spam!

I had the short cut key control alt J for Jaws 7.0 and control alt K for Jaws 6.20. I am going to install Jaws 8.0 and so thought I would change the Jaws 7.0 hotkey to control alt K instead of Jaws 6.20. I always like to have my old version of Jaws as a back-up, incase I have problems with the new version. I lost my Jaws 7.0 hotkey of control alt J when I did a repair of Jaws recently. I therefore did the following procedure to reassign the new order of hotkeys I want. I selected Jaws 6.20 on the desktop. I then pressed applications. I arrowed up to properties and went into it. I tabbed across to the create hotkey section(or whatever it was called). I deleted the current hotkey of control alt K. I heard Jaws say something about none. I tabbed to the okay button and pressed spacebar. I went back to the desktop and selected Jaws 7.0. I then followed the above procedure. However, instead of deleting the hotkey(there wasn't one to delete anyway), I typed the letter K. I tabbed and shifted tab back to make sure it had taken. I heard Jaws say Hotkey control alt K. I tabbed to okay and hit spacebar. However, when I unloaded Jaws 7.0 and pressed the hotkey control alt K, nothing happened. Jaws didn't come up speaking. I had to reboot in order to get Jaws 7.0 up again. Have I done something wrong here?

Hi Jason, Try this when making your hotkey, it always works for me. After assigning your hotkey, tab to the apply button, and spacebar it. Next, tab to the shortcut key field to make sure your assignment has been saved, then tab to the okay button, and spacebar that.

Just tab through and make the hot key, without going back over it, and not hitting the Apply button; or, use narrator while making the hot key. - Original Message - From: jason smith To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 7:42 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] creating shortcut key not working Hi list, I have been having trouble with shortcut keys.
