Mike,
You may have missed the original point, which is that the new laptop they
purchased does not have an insert key.

Hi
If you're using the desktop keyboard layout, which is the default, insert is
the JAWSKey. If you change to the laptop keyboard, CAPS lock is then the
JAWSKey.

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.

Mike, then I'm also mystified. If there is indeed a need for an Insert key,
and none is on that keyboard, then how are those keystrokes to be performed?

Hi
When you're using the Laptop keyboard layout, the CAPS Lock key is the
JAWSKey, but not the insert key. 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.

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?

Sounds to me like it may be time for a wireless keyboard with all of
the keys on it. That's what I use and its great. I have one from
Logitech and one from hp.

There's no dedicated numpad on this keyboard either. <g>

Hi Kimber,
The number pad key 0, which you know as the JAWS key when the Num
Lock is turned off, also serves as the insert key. Therefore, the
JAWS and the Insert key are one in the same.

Hey All,
I just got a new laptop and there is no insert key on the keyboard.
It has been replaced by a double-sized delete key.
I use the caps lock for my jaws key so that's not the problem. But is
there some key combination I can utilize to invoke insert mode?
And who the heck thought this new keyboard design was a good idea?
Why do I need a double sized delete key anyway? Sheesh!
All suggestions welcome. I'm stuck with this laptop for reasons I
won't go into. Nor is an external keyboard the solution I would
choose. Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Kimber
