Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
Just a suggestion is to assign your Jaws hotkey according to the version you have. For example I have 3 different versions of Jaws on my PC. Jaws 15, 16 and 17. I have a hotkey for Jaws 15 as alt control 5, Jaws 16 as alt control 6 and so on. Not sure why you would be having a problem assigning a hotkey for Jaws 17 but remember that a hotkey can be assigned to the icon on the desk top and to the properties of Jaws in your start menu. Both places need to have the hotkey deleted. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2016 6:32 AM To: jaws-users-list <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17 Hi All, I had control-alt-J assigned as my hotkey for jaws 16, but I wanted to reassign it to jaws 17.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
I always assign the number associated with the version of Jaws to the hotkey. I.E. control+alt+6 for JFW 16 and control+alt+7 for JFW 17, etc. I have to reassign it every time there's an update, but that's no big deal. This way, I don't have to worry about conflicts and can switch between versions of Jaws if I find a particular application may work better with one version over another or if I find an update is far too buggy for my taste. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Monday, April 11, 2016 7:53 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17 Elegant and Simple.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
Hi Kimber, Are you running a shortcut filing program like Hotkey Detective that stores all your hotkeys? Also, have you tried pinning a Jaws shortcut to the taskbar? I have all 3 Jaws version shortcuts pinned to the taskbar, so if I press, Windows key + 5, this will start Jaws 15, Windows key + 6, starts Jaws 16, & Windows key + 7, starts Jaws 17. But, in order for this sequencing to work you would need to have Windows key + numbers 1 thru 4 occupied with shortcuts as well. So, here's how my taskbar shortcuts are layed out: Windows key + 1, = IE11. Windows key + 2, = Notepad. Windows key + 3, = Outlook Express. Windows key + 4, = MS Word Windows key + 5, 6, & 7, = Jaws versions. Windows key + 8, = Firefox. Windows key + 9, = Openbook. Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time! If you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S".

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
Kimber, in my experience, when you attempt to assign the hotkey using the control+alt keys, just press the letter because control+alt is the assumed modifier Windows believes you want to use plus the letter you type. for example, you want to use control+alt+j as the hotkey to start JAWS, just press the letter j when you get to the field to assign the shortcut. if you want to use a diferent combination, that's when you have to press all the keys you want. for example, you want to use control+shift+j instead, press all three keys to overide the default of control+alt+ the letter of your choice. hth Original Message From: Kimber Gardner Sent: Saturday, Apr 9, 2016 7:32:17 AM EST To: jaws-users-list Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17 Hi All, I had control-alt-J assigned as my hotkey for jaws 16, but I wanted to reassign it to jaws 17. I went into properties under jaws 16 and deleted the key assignment, only each time I try assigning that key combo to jaws 17 in the property dialogue, instead of assigning the keystroke it starts up jaws 16. When I open the property dialogue under 16, it shows no hotkey assigned. What am I missing?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
Gerald is right. However I avoid all this by assigning Ctrl+Alt+6 for JAWS 16, Ctrl+Alt+7 for JAWS 17. Have done the same since JAWS 11.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17
After you delete a hot key assignment, you have to restart your computer for the change to take effect. So after you delete the hot key Alt-Control-J for JAWS 16, restart your computer and then reassign it to JAWS 17.
