Hello Chris I've googled that very thing with Logitech keyboards and Applications Keys. I found that on some Logitech keyboards, including the K800 (which I'm using), pressing the FN key plus the Print screen key which is to the right of the f12 key, performs the same function as the applications key.
Hope that helps Debbie -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+debbiey1982=optusnet.com...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Chris Grabowski via Talk Sent: Friday, 24 April 2015 11:43 PM To: Rick Thomas; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: RE: speaking of Dell computers... I find newer Logitech keyboards do not have an applications key. The last couple of Microsoft keyboards I purchased have both a numlock and an applications key. Can't speak on any other brand keyboards.

Same thing here: My new Dell came with a keyboard but it did not have a num lock key, I purchassed another and it came without an Applications Key. I finally Purchassed a third keyboard that has both but the fellow at Best Buy had a hard time finding one with both the num lock and applications keys. My guess is software should be designed around this newkeyboard layout senario since I don't know if it is possible to influence the hardware manufactures to comply with an individual software product in lieu of 99.99 percent of their base client requirements. That or perhaps AI Squared could sell a compatible keyboard and even make a buck for coffee. I don't know the best solution but it seems the large manufacturers are getting away from the applications key and the num lock keys. By the way, the girl from Dell had no clue as to what I ment when I called them about getting a keyboard with both and sent me to a webPage where keyboards were detailed but even there I couldn't figure out which ones came with what I needed to work with WindowEyes and that is why I ended up over at Best Buy and their sales person also had a hard time finding one but, at least, he did find one, at least for now. It is quite frustrating to drop hundreds for a computer only to find out you need to hard scrounge additional hardware if you want to use WindowEyes and there was not anything on the WindowEyes site as to which keyboards were compatible with their software - at least I didn't find anything at the time. I guess in some cases a modified f10 key will work in place of the Applications Key but as far as I know no num lock key can be a killer me thinks.
