Tom,

I think you participated in a long-ago debate over how to get the JAWS
shortcut, as well as others, to stick. I believe my last shortcut trauma
involved Notepad. As you suggest here, I had to delete any alt-control-n
shortcuts in both the desktop and the programs menu for my intended
alt-control-n shortcut to take effect for Notepad, which now works
flawlessly.

Another note from my last experience of setting a JAWS shortcut. Following
FS's specific instructions, I stopped tabbing from the shortcut choice edit
field to the apply button. Instead, all I do now is tab to that edit field,
type (for example) j, and then press enter. To make sure, I then reboot. So
long as alt-control-j hasn't been assigned elsewhere, the shortcut takes
every time.

Some listers report needing to tab to apply and then to okay. For whatever
reason, we all appear to have different shortcut experiences.

And, am I correct that you have to remove all previous alt control J
shortcuts from both the desktop and start menu?

This is where I think I got into a problem once earlier.

Tom,

I've always found it advantageous to re-create this shortcut for any new
version. Like many JAWS users, I have a few versions on my system because
later ones broke what previously worked. Each time I install a new version
(i.e., 10, 11, 12), I assign the j shortcut to it and reassign other
shortcuts to older versions.

Hi, again.

I just thought of one more question here.

What is the best way to transfer the Alt Control J shortcut to Jaws 12
from
Jaws 11, when doing the upgrade process?

I seem to recall having a problem with this once before in earlier
upgrades,
and can't remember how to resolve it.

All I remember is that I had great difficulty transferring the shortcut
over
to the new version of Jaws from the earlier version.

I would have thought that the "merge utilities" function would have taken
care of this, but it didn't in my earlier upgrade efforts.

Thanks for putting up with all my questions lately.

Tom in Michigan
