The only way I know to prevent JAWS from processing a keystroke is to
write a script that traps that keystroke and passes it through. This is
an excellent question for the JAWS user list, to which I shall forward
your message immediately.

Hi All,
I’ve just subscribed to this list, so Hello! And apologies if this has
already been covered, or if my question demonstrates a lamentable lack
of knowledge of the subject:
I’m working through the tutorials for QWS. I noticed that some of the
keystrokes described, don’t work as expected, specifically the
control-left-arrow and control-Right-arrow keys. I assume that this
is because JAWS is grabbing the keystroke. I can pass through keys on
an individual basis, but can’t remember how you define a keystroke
that should always be passed through within a particular application.
I can’t find any config files on the web, specifically for JAWS and
QWS, but would be interested:
1. If anyone already has QWS configuration files, or
2. If someone can remind me how, on a more generalised basis, you
prevent JAWS from grabbing a specific keystroke.
Regards and thanks,
Tim Pennick
