Hi Donna, The keystroke you are looking for is, Insert, Windows Key, + F4. This key is used to shut Jaws down when the normal keystroke, Insert, F4 + Enter, does not work. That keystroke is supposed to completely (and very quickly) kill JAWS and simultaneously create a debug file dump for analysis purposes. Also, don't try to use this keystroke when you have Keyboard Help turned on! For whatever reason this keystroke is not in Keyboard Help & if invoked, you will shut Jaws down! At least that's what happend to me! Hope this helps. Take care. Mike
I agree with you. Some of these keystrokes actually hurt my 58-year-old fingers.

In the past I have used such a keystroke, but cannot remember what it was and if it is still available. It was something like insert control windows key and F4. Or something like that. I thought it was called something like kill jaws because it forced jaws to close and made a funny little sound when it worked. I also would like to know if this feature is still available and if so, just what it might be.
