I tried it myself, both using the application key on the keyboard and also changing the cursor in JAWS to the JAWS cursor and using the right-click key on the numpad. I even routed focus of the PC cursor to the JAWS cursor and even merged both cursors and tried it with the right-click on the numpad and no luck.

Do you think a keyboard left mouse click would work? I've forgotten how to do this on a laptop keyboard layout, so if someone tries it and has success, I'd appreciate a reminder.

Hi, Judging from what I am reading here, though I haven't tried this myself, it sounds like what it takes is a click of the actual hardware mouse. Perhaps it would be useful to try grabbing the mouse with one hand, holding it perfectly still, routing your mouse cursor to the button that needs to be clicked to install the app with the other hand, then clicking the left mouse button on the mouse itself, again taking care not to budge that mouse. Mouse pointers can sometimes be very sensitive to the slightest movement, so keeping the mouse still can be a challenge sometimes. This might at least be a workaround until Apple takes care of this problem. On 10/13/2016 1:08 PM, Daniel L. Gervais wrote: > Hi Davy, > > I have tried everything but with no success.
