I see I am not responding to the latest message here. So, someone may have pointed this out (and I just missed it), but the below steps did not seem to work. First, I had to plug in a regular U S B full keyboard. Otherwise JawsKey plus 8 on the home row simulates a left mouse click. Perhaps I didn't have to do the keyboard, but I had one handy. I think JawsKey plus 8 just brings up Keyboard manager. Second, Alt plus H, on my system, brought up help topics, not a key assignment menu. Third, I think the command is control plus a, not Alt plus H, but I couldn't get that to work either. I'm going to try to check out keyboard manager in JAWS Help. I've not messed with that very much. Happy computing.

Cc: Negoslav Sabev Subject: Re: How to Get an "Applications Key" on a Lenovo Laptop? Hi, Here is a very easy way to remap the print screen key on Lenovo with JFW. 1. Press insert+8 on the number row from anywhere. JFW keyboard manager will open. 2. Press ctrl+alt+d to load the default .jkm file. You should hear that the default file is loaded. 3. Be sure that you are on the default section by pressing insert+ up arrow. 4. tab once to enter the list of script key assignments. 5. Find "SendApplicationKey" by pressing the first few letters. 6. Press alt+h to open the dialog for changing the key assignment. 7. press the print screen key to assign it. 8. Press tab to go to ok and enter to confirm it. 9. Press ctrl+s to save and alt+f4 to close. HTH Negoslav On 8/21/15, Ed Marquette via Jfw <[email protected]> wrote: > This depends on which Lenovo model you are using.
