In JAWS Settings Center, Default All Applications. Type 'key' in the
edit, and in the subsequent list of about 14 results you will find the
three-toggle radiobutton. (It toggles between Insert, Capslock, and
Scroll Lock keys.
On a laptop, if the FN key is controlling functions, this makes things
awkward. There it's best, if you can, to turn off this built-in
configuration in either one of the laptop's utilities or in its BIOS.
(On the laptop unmodified try using capslock, Fn key, and t, for
example, to say the title of the active window. It slows you down some!
It's the same with other JAWS commands.) So it's either put up with the
inconvenience of using the Fn key with another two keys (using at least
three fingers), or change it to a more normal JAWS operation.
I hope that explains things. BTW, I succeeded in turning off the
hindrant Fn key on my Toshiba Satellite by getting into its HW
utilities, as instructed by the secured pdf manual. (I used pdf2txt to
get around that.) If you have to do this in the BIOS, you will probably
need sighted assistance.

Hi Flor,
Jaws Key:
You can assign the Insert key, If you selected to use the desktop
configuration.
And if you select the laptop configuration then it would be the caps
lock
key.
I believe this is correct and where can you find the menu to switch back
and
forth?
Thanks,
Jorge

Hi Marek,
You can assign the capslock key to be your JAWS key: . Then when you
want to
use it as the caps lock key, press that key twice.

Hi all,
I am running windows on Mac notebook.
But one problem is, how to simulate ins. key, which isn't there?
I know, how to simulate page up/down, home/end, it is fn and arrow keys,
but insert isn't there.
