Georges,
open your WinEyes control panel, and place yourself in the tree of choices.
Scroll down to Hotkeys, and expand it.
Then arrow down to Miscellaneous.
Now tab once, and you land in a list of some 50 different things, for
which you can set a dedicated hotkey.
What you are looking for, is the one that says something like
Silence.
It is far down the list, something like 42 or near that - so keep scrolling.
When found, tab over to the button that says
Define Hotkey
and hit Enter. Then press the hotkey of your choice. You will receive
confirmation.
Remember to hit Ctrl-S, to save your settings.
As an extra note, please be aware that you can set the hotkey for a
global scope. In that case, it will work no matter where you are on your
computer. Alternatively, you can set it to only work for a given piece
of software.
In case you want it to only apply for a specific application, make sure
to focus that application prior to bringing up your control panel.
Further, make sure to associate a set file with that application -
something you do from the Association branch of the treeview. When in
the hotkey section, make sure to press space on the choice for whether
it should be linked with the application only, or set as a global
hotkey. Your speech should inform you of the setting.
This feature is not set to any hotkey by default. And frankly, I never
used it myself. Reason I even know about it, is that I recently had to
redefine a hotkey, and came across the listing.
As for Jaws, I am not sure how to do this acrobatic excersie, so others
will have to educate the two of us. Pretty sure, there might be a way to
do it in that screen reader as well.
Hope this took you one step further.

Is there a way to accomplish this task with a hotkey without entering
Window-Eyes control panel?
