Dave and everyone:
I checked both versions of JAWS, that is 10 and 11, to which I had assigned CTRL+ALT+J for my experiment. Windows shows the assigned hot keys to both versions.

Dave Durbur,
Good observations. There is a utility that will tell you what hotkeys are
assigned to what shortcuts and start menu icons.
Hot Key Detective. I think you can download it from the jfwlite web site.

Dave and everyone:
From what I can tell, the JAWS installation does not automatically assign
CTRL+ALT+J, as a short cut to start JAWS.
I was using JAWS 10 at the time. As an experiment, I assigned CTRL+ALT+J,
to both JAWS 10 and 11. Windows did not complain that I had assigned the
short cut to two applications. I unloaded JAWS 10 and press CTRL+ALT+J and
waited to see which version of JAWS would be loaded. Well, in my example,
JAWS 11 was loaded.
It would help, if Windows allowed only one occurrence of a short cut key
combination to be allowed to launch a program. So, if you tried to assign a
short cut combination that was already assigned to a program to another
program, Windows would tell you that this was the case and give you another
opportunity to choose another short cut combination for the other program.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Not quite.
Checking the "Start JAWS automatically" just ensure that JAWS will start
up
on boot of the computer.
When installing a new version (say from 11 to 12) a shortcut will be added
to the desktop with the version number (e.g. JAWS 12) and it may or may
not
have the Ctrl+alt+J keystroke assigned.
If you have more than one major version of JAWS (9, 10, 11, 12) you could
end up with a desktop shortcut for each, and usually the first one with
the
hotkey.
Users like Tom need to edit the shortcut preferences for the old version
and
the new to ensure that only one has the hotkey assigned.

Hi Tom,
There is no need to transfer the alt, control, + J, keystroke. That is
the
default shortcut keystroke for all versions of Jaws. What you need to do
is
go to the Jaws12 context menu / options / basics and check the box to have
Jaws12 start automatically. By checking this box in any version of Jaws,
tells Jaws to use this particular keystroke as the shortcut keystroke.
Hope
this helps. Take care.
Mike

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
