Major problem
|
James Lockwood <lockwoodnd@...>
I am running windows 10 and have jaws 2018 and 2019 most up-to-date version. I have an Alienware R17 laptop. I am having a problem where Jaws is acting like the shift key is held down. However it is physically not held down. Is anyone else experienced this problem?

are you sure? there is usually two shift keys. one on the left
and one on the right side of the keypad. If it works don't fix it On 4/15/2019 6:52 PM, James Lockwood

Percussive maintenance often works: Place one hand on each shift key and bang them alternately about ten times. If you haven't rebooted yet and percussion doesn't work, reboot.

Smack both shift keys several times, but not too many to bring on stickey keys dialog. This is a problem that used to happen all the time with certain keyboard controllers chips. Usually reboot is not necessary.

Make sure the keys are not stuck. Use compressed air to blow out the keys. Laptops seem to get stuck as they are often exposed to lots of different places.

Yes, I thought I was accidentally hitting caps lock somehow, but maybe that's not the case. I'm also seeing where JAWS says that I have control and/or alt held down. I just had this happen and tried someone's idea of hitting the left and right Alt keys repeateadly back and forth and surprisingly, that cleared it. I then did it with the control key and, again, it seemed to clear the issue. ItCertainly is an odd issue.

Hi,

This is a jaws issue and has been for quite a while. Hit alt, shift, windows, capslock all at once and that should clear things up for quite a while.
