Hi, If you are using Windows 10, one of the latest releases, go to Settings Click on Devices Tab to list of items Choose “Typing” Click or hit enter Tab once Now you will see several choices including: Correct Spelling , Auto fill and other items. You can turn these on or off with a tap of the space bar. Once you have made choices close the window.
Hope this helps.
Dan You may also have some settings in Microsoft Word or Outlook that need similar changes as well . From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Rayn Darren
HI all, I appear to be getting a popup of some sort with what I believe is either autocorrect or autofill suggestions when typing. This happens in any application on my PC. I have no idea how it started, why it’s doing it or how to turn it off, but its driving me crazy. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sarah

Re: Alt F4 Frozen
Don Walls
My thanks to everyone for your helpful suggestions. Yesterday a sighted friend could not figure out my problem. Today CNIB's adaptive tech specialist guided me over the phone. I discovered a function lock key I didn't know I had. At first it did not seem responsive, but a quick double tap unlocked the function keys and all is well.

If that is the case then you may simply need a new keyboard. How old is the keyboard you are using and was it just what I call a "cheap" mainstream wired keyboard like the ones you can buy for $20 or was it a more expensive mechanical keyboard? In my experience the cheap keyboards which often come with a computer will only last a couple of years before they start to do weird things and even the better Logitech wireless keyboards like the MK510/540 or even more expensive MK710 (those "MK" models are mouse/keyboard combos) have a limited life span. At home I use a Logitech K780 which is quite nice, but at work I have actually gone back to mostly high-end wired mechanical keyboards, in this case I decided on the keyboards from the company "Das Keyboard" and the model I have is the "Professional 4". They are made from aluminum with Cherry MX Blue switches and a fantastic built quality, each keyboard also has 2 USB 3.0 ports on the back, but they also are $220 Canadian, I think in the US they go for around $150 or $160 and at least last Black Friday I didn't even see them on sale. I only bought them less than a year ago and I guess I'll see if they indeed will pay for themselves by lasting 6 or more years because typically before I bought Logitech wireless keyboards where I could probably buy 3 for the price of one of these Das Keyboard models, but I would have to replace them every 2 years or so.

I don't know the model of my keyboard and, when I tried to check the original emails around its purchase, I couldn't find the information. I'm using Windows 10 and JAWS 17 (soon to be updated to JAWS 2020). I don't have a sighted person handy just now but oculd try an old keyboard which was okay except for the letter l sticking. Don -----Original Message----- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2020 9:47 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Alt F4 Frozen Hi Don, If none of the function keys work I think it's time to look more closely at your keyboard. Do you know the make and model? Would you have another keyboard around you could plug in and try? I suspect that your keyboard either has a button or switch to disable the function keys and you accidently pushed it or it is defective in some other way.

Don -----Original Message----- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2020 7:59 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Alt F4 Frozen I was asking because some keyboards have a switch or button which locks the function keys and yet others like the Logitech K780 require you to press also the FN key along with any other key combination, e.g. without Logitech Options software installed where you can tell the function keys to behave normally, you would have to press FN + Alt + F4. Another question I would have is whether this is on a laptop or a desktop? If it's on a laptop, does Alt + F4 work if you use the laptop's keyboard? Lastly, are other function key shortcuts working, e.g. Jaws Key + F7 to pull up a list of links on a website or even just Jaws Key + F10 for a list of open applications or Jaws Key + F11 to speak the time? -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Don Walls Sent: Friday, February 21, 2020 11:07 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Alt F4 Frozen I'm not sure what model of keyboard I have.

He ran into a snag, so started again with a fresh format and we sent the completed form off. I could not close the first form but shut down the computer. I don't know if it's related, but since then I cannot close Word files or emails. I can open and read them and move them, but I can't close them. If I'm in my email list, I can use Alt tab to get out of an open email, then delete or move it, but the open email is still there. I assume that somehow I've frozen the Alt F4 function. My only resort is to shut down the computer. When I start it up again, emails I've deleted both from In and Deleted folders reappear. Any thoughts? I'm using Windows 10 and JAWS 17, though I plan to purchase JAWS 2020 in a few weeks. I'd appreciate any help. Don

I had that problem too, I hated the way the
accessible site gives you so little info and I had to clear my cookies to get
back to a normal page too.
I later found a link at the bottom of the page that
would have done the same thing and didn't like that I wasted a day trying to get
the normal pages back.

Re: How to create a new folder

Yep, it certainly does. I guess only weirdos like me (and maybe you too) who like to have a command window open just in case most of the time would use this method, though.

With Windows, there is almost never just one way to do things. Dean gave three ways, and Sieghard had given yet another. Alt2 also works. So Take your pick. The Applications key is the longest way to accomplish this.

Re: Amazon checkout with JAWS 2020
I think once when I tried the accessibility site it was like that and I was wondering why the accessibility should in a way be less accessible by not providing headings and such. I never went back to it and I think I even had to clear my browser cache and delete history and cookies to get rid of it.

Yes, it is strange. If one of my regular web searches takes me to an Amazon page with a variety of results, then I have the headings, but not from the Amazon search. They are links and numbered, like #1, #2, etc. I can search the page for the number sign and press F3 to move down the page though. Glenn

The reason alt+2 works is that the New Folder command is apparently on the tool bar by default, which fact I had forgotten.

That window is confusing, we have to start at the
top of addresses in order to see what the checkbox is referring to. as on
some pages it is after, and some the checkbox is before, that is, the checkbox
that is for "make this the default".
There is such a checkbox for the payment method
too. I think it is before the address and payment method on Amazon's
page.
One can get to the checkboxes on a page with the
letter X.
So as it happens, I have had it change on me on
Amazon's checkout pages, I always press X a few times to see which item is
actually checked as to not have my supplements sent to my Mom. ☺
