It doesn't automatically detect what kind of keyboard you have. That

 Feature request, feature request!!   It seems rather unbelievable to me (but I 
do believe it) that this was not implemented long ago.  It's not rocket science 
to query hardware/device drivers to determine specific hardware present.  I 
don't think, for instance, that I've ever seen a Num Lock key on any keyboard 
that does not have a number pad as part of it.  I can only imagine what it must 
be like to have a fresh installation of JAWS on a non-number-pad laptop and 
starting out with it if no one you have access to who knows anything about JAWS 
can be reached and you don't know it's presuming a desktop keyboard layout (or 
anything about the fact that there *are* keyboard layouts as a concept).  

I envision bits of plastic and keys scattered about like so many Scrabble tiles 
within a few short minutes after the computer is hurled across the room with 
all available strength!
