What do you mean? When you press that function key, that is the key to the
right of the left control in combination with other keys, F12 for instance,
does it say the time? Or if you press that key wit F11, does it invoke the
system tray thing? Is that what you mean by that being a JAWS key also?
Because if that's what you mean, I can say that not all laptops behave like
that so it would be quite confusing if you call that JAWS key by definition.
But if I did not understand what you mean, kindly clarify your post here
because it is really confusing to some. Thanks

The caps lock key absolutely doubles as the jaws key on a laptop. There
is, though, a key on all of the laptops I have used, as well as my Acer
netbook, that functions as a jaws key. It is the second key in from the
left on the bottom row of keys, just to the right of the control key.
Officially, I think it's called the function key, but don't quote me on
that. I have worked as a computer trainer/technician for about three
years now, and I've found this key on all of the laptops I have used,
including my own. I have fouhnd that it performs very nearly all of the
same functions as the caps lock key on a laptop. It's simply another
option, that's all.

This is one of many situations where using the expression "JAWS key"
may not be helpful. I think it is preferable to call keys by their
standard names. If you are using JAWS in its laptop configuration, the
so called JAWS key is actually the CAPS LOCK key, and I think it would
be more helpful to use that description.

Thank you, you taught me something new today because my insert key is
the
second key from the right across the top row.

Some laptops have an insert key, often on the top row, second key from
the
right. Also, often there is a jaws key on the bottom row, second from
the
left, just to the right of the control key. If you hold down the jaws
key, the nine keys, JKL, UIO, and 7 8 9, have the number pad
functions.
Holding down the caps lock key and pressing these keys performs other
reading functions. Experiment with your laptop and see what happens.
Also, don't forget about Insert plus 1, keyboard help. You might
experiment with your laptop using keyboard help and learn how it
functions. That's how I learned to use both of mine.

Jaws Users,
I have been using my Dell 1545 laptop with an external number pad.
My
question to the list is what is the learning curve if I decided to
do
away with the external number pad and just use the keys on the
keyboard?
Is there any tutorials on this topic anywhere? I have Jaws 10 and my
windows is XP. thanks for all help offered on this matter. I thought
it
best to learn this while school is out for the summer.
