Hi Roger. I use the laptop layout wth JAWS because I dont' even have a desktop machine. The laptopt layout uses the capslock as a JAWS key. The commands are not difficult to memorize. You can use the insert key to on a laptop when the capslock key is too far away, as with insert+F12 for checking the time with just one hand. Very handy. Also, going from JAWS to PC to invisible cursors is quite simple with the laptop layout. It's capslock+semicolon for pc cursor, capslock+p for JAWS cursor, capslock+left bracket to rout jaws to pc, and capsclock+p twice quickly to activate the invisible cursor. If you need the normal functionality of the capslock, you just press it twice quickly by itself. Hope this helps.
