Hi Well, I have to correct my previous email. While insert+h and insert+j do perform those functions and CAPS lock+h and CAPS lock+j do other functions, I just found that there are actually Laptop keys to do those functions. They are control+shift+CAPS lock+h and control+shift+CAPS lock+j. I prefer the insert key. This is just a guess, but there is ;probably an insert key on that laptop, but you have to hold down the function key to use it. Hopefully the Laptop documentation will reveal some information.

If there is indeed a need for an Insert key, and none is on that keyboard, then how are those keystrokes to be performed?

I do not believe it will put you in or take you out of insert mode while typing. You can perform most of the JAWS functions using the CAPS lock key, but not all of them. While using the Laptop keyboard layout, there are a couple of functions that still require the actual insert key. You have to use insert+h to bring up Hot key help. Also you have to use insert+j to move to the JAWS window or bring up the JAWS context menu if you're running JAWS from the system tray. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2015 09:26 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] No insert key on my new laptop keyboard Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but if I'm using the caps lock as my jaws key (which I am), how does it also function as the insert key?
