Re: using capslock with the desktop layout.
Van Lant, Robin
But when I used caps lock in desktop mode, it seemed that the insert key not longer acted as a JAWS key. I want both to be a JAWS key, since it's sometimes easier to hit one over the other for certain commands. That's why I ended up switching to the laptop layout.

Re: Using Waterfox
Mike B. <mike9902@...>
Hi Dave,
Windows has the sticky key mode but, Jaws has Insert key mode
and how to use it is explained below:
Insert Key Mode: Try the following to turn the Insert Key Mode on / off. This only works in the Settings Center Default All Applications. 1. Open the Settings Center in either of these 2 ways. A. Press, Insert / Jaws Key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard. B. Press, Insert / Jaws Key + F2, to open the, Jaws Manager, arrow down, Settings Center, & press enter. With the Settings Center open press, control, shift , + D, to open the Settings Center Default All Applications. 2. Arrow down to, Users, right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Insert Key Mode, to check or uncheck this box. Here's the explanation of this option: When selected, the INSERT key functions as a sticky key. Any key pressed immediately after pressing the INSERT key is treated as if it were pressed in combination with the INSERT key. This check box is cleared by default. Take Care. Mike.

JM, The vast majority of developers that I am in contact with see Chrome as the “only browser that matters“ and the browser that everyone should be using. They came for the built-in development tools, they stayed for the convenience of having google store all of their information in one place (and they think that’s a feature). I hear “Firefox is an edge-case” and “Firefox is disappearing“ so do we really need to make it work in Firefox? Now that MS Edge is going to be running Chrome (Chromium) under the hood, there are even less browser options for us. So, to people I care about, I encourage them to do this one small thing to help protect their personal information: make Firefox your default browser. Google makes pretty good stuff, but it isn’t free; we pay by giving them our information. Sorry, that was more than you asked for.

Sent: February 14, 2019 11:01 AM To: jfw@groups.io Subject: Keyboard Malfunction
Hi – I have a totally perplexing problem with my Acer Aspire netbook. The keyboard is malfunctioning. For example, the keys down the left side of the keyboard (Escape, tilde, Tab, Caps-lock) all say “Escape” when pressed. Keys d, f, c say “5.” Keys k, l, I say “dash.” Arrow up says “F10,” and other arrow keys say “Home.” I assume that I inadvertently clicked some option while exploring settings, but I have no idea what or where that option might be. The touch pad allows my sighted wife to navigate the computer, but her tech skills are very limited. Anybody have a suggestion for returning standard keyboard functionality? Do I need to start in safe mode to get where I need to go to make a change? I hope to avoid having to take the dated netbook to a repair shop, given the typical cost of a repair call and the market value of the netbook. I will be delighted to take conversation about this problem off the list if you have info to share and don’t want to clutter more Jaws-specific list space. Many thanks – Ed Culpepper

that as well. That's actually ok I think as that's the way browsers are meant to function. Is it that much of a pain for you to use insert-ctrl-f instead? You already have to do this in for examplea dobe reader... That said I'm sure you could remap the keystroke somehow. I don't think jAWS has separate keyboard/script files for waterfox, and that's why the virtual find doesn't work the same. You could probably create one if you watned to.

Re: waterfox with jaws

try the portible version. then you can find out for yourself without installing it or messing up firefox if you have it installed.
with the full version, if you uninstall it it will delete files the firefox version uses and it probibly won't run after the full version of waterfox has been uninstalled. this does not apply to the portible version. with this you only have to delete the waterfox folder. Does Waterfox work with 32 bit. That's what my computer is. I've downloaded it but don't want to install unless this is the case.
