Does anyone know the keystroke to generate a left mouse double click? I can't find it in any of the documentation. jaws+8 gives me a left mouse single click. And yes, I tried hitting that key twice in

Adrian -- I have always unloaded Jaws with jaws+f4. I brought up the keyboard manager, but didn't see an entry for jaws+windows+f4. That keystroke is a new one for me. -------------- next part -------
