It saves you from trying to press 3 keys at once, lol.
Just press the insert key, and let go, and then press the other keys.
I love it, smiles.

When you have 1 of those graphic files, open it as usual, then press,

Try this. In the pdf, hit control P. A list of printers should come
up. Click on the Freedom Printer and an Open Book file will open with
the pdf in it. You can then save it to various places including a Word
document if you wish.

When I use a laptop without a numb pad I bought an external numb pad and

I would use the Desktop layout in all computers, but often laptops have no

Hi,
You can use the Laptop keyboard layout which has capslock as the JAWS Key
by default, or change the setting of the Desktop layout to use capslock
instead of insert.
Keystroke disposition in Laptop layout is easier to handle with no need to

Hi, Loy. It's completely up to you, but you might want to explain why you find
the insert key hard to use in some combinations. Armed with that information,
people who use the caps lock instead of insert could give you an idea of
whether you might face similar problems with that key.
I have been using the laptop mode for as long as I have been using JAWS. I
have never used the desktop mode with the insert as the JAWS key. There is
no problem using it.
