Gerald:
When I recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro on my computer and installed JAWS 9, the JAWS installation program did not, I repeat, did not, assign CTRL+ALT+J or, any other shortcut key combination to JAWS 9.
Likewise, when I installed JAWS 10, 11, and 12, none of the installation programs for any of those versions did not, again I repeat, did not, assign any shortcut key.
Finally, before posting my response to your last posting, I called FS Tech Support to clarify this point.
The Tech Support Representative, when I ask them if JAWS assigns a shortcut key automatically during the installation process or not, said that the JAWS
installation program does not assign any shortcut key to the newly installed
version of JAWS. They went on to say that JAWS might delete an assigned shortcut key. when you use the Repair JAWS function.

Not necessarily. Assuming JAWS 11 is the latest version installed on your
computer, it was automatically assigned the hot key Alt-Control-J when it
was originally installed. Unless you delete this "hidden" hot key, it
will always launch JAWS 11, even if you create the user-defined hot key
Alt-Control-J for JAWS 10. As a rule, hot keys automatically assigned by
an application take precedence over hot keys defined by the user. You can
use Hot Key Detective to determine whether a particular hot key is application assigned or user assigned. When I installed the demo version
of JAWS 10, Alt-Control-J, which had been created automatically when I
originally installed JAWS 9, was automatically reassigned to JAWS 10. In
order to reassign Alt-Control-J back to JAWS 9, my default version of
JAWS, I had to use Hot Key Detective to delete Alt-Control-J from JAWS 10
and then use the Properties dialog of JAWS 9 to re-create it as a user-assigned hot key.

Karen:
Yesterday, if you remember, I assigned CTRL+ALT+J to JAWS 10 first and
then JAWS 11. I then unloaded JAWS 10 and pressed the shortcut key
combination to see which version of JAWS Windows would launch. In that
instance, JAWS 11 was launched over JAWS 10.
Following your comments in your reply, I reversed the actions of my
experiment, to see whether Windows reversed its action, that is, launch
JAWS 10 over JAWS11.
I first deleted the CTRL+ALT+J shortcut key combination for JAWS 10 and
JAWS 11.
I then assigned the shortcut key to JAWS 11 first and did the same with
JAWS 10.
I then unloaded JAWS 10 and pressed CTRL+ALT+J and waited to see which
version of JAWS would be loaded.
Well, surprise, surprise, Windows did reverse its action and launched
JAWS 10 over JAWS 11.
It appears that if you assign the same shortcut key to more than one
application, Windows will launch the last program to which you assigned
the shortcut key combination, that is, the application which has the
latest updated date and time stamps.

dave if yuou assign a short cut then do the same action again using a
different version of jaws. would it not react to the last
request. this
would eliminate the first request of the same thing. just a
thought.

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.

Dave Durber

Mike,
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.

I'll try to remedy that situation.

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

to Jaws 12
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
