Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop
Louise, first decide whether you want to keep both versions of JAWS. If you do, and if you decide to use the control-alt-j shortcut for 18, you will first need to remove it from 17. Or else keep the j shortcut with 17 and create a new one for 18. To remove a shortcut, follow the same steps, except when you get to "j," just press the delete key. Escape to get out of the dialog and you should be fine. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Louise Johnson Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 1:29 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop Hi thanks for the good information how to make the short cut key.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop
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!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop
Adrian, thanks to you guys for the help and I will look into this again this afternoon. Over the years I have set up the control, Alt plus "j" keystroke many times and I have run into this problem before and lived without it but it is nice to have it when using narrator. I am just starting to look at narrator a little now. Right now when I unload jaws 18 and want to reload jaws I use the run dialogue. Thanks again to all of you guys. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 7:21 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop 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. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fred Adams Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 6:08 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop Mr Ed, I have done all that you mentioned several times but to no avail.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop
Escape doesn't function as cancel, not in this case. If it did, this method wouldn't work for me. It simply takes you out of the dialog. Mike's direction get to the same place in a different way, except for adding the "apply" button. Usually, with other dialogs, I press spacebar on the apply button, but experience on two systems with this particular dialog has made it unnecessary. In fact, the fewer tabs and other keystrokes, the more likely I find the shortcut will stick. Still, if "apply" works, great. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gene Warner Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 8:37 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop Hi Fred!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop
Hi Fred! You'll probably need to contact Microsoft support instead of Freedom Scientific, because this sounds like a Windows problem, not a JAWS one. Cheers! Cheers!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop
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.

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. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fred Adams Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 6:08 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop Mr Ed, I have done all that you mentioned several times but to no avail.
