moderated Route jaws to PC no longer working
David Reynolds <david@...>
Hi, Using jaws key numpad minus to route jaws to pc is no longer working. I’m using the latest version of JAWS, and I’m hoping that this is something I’ve messed up rather than a bug in jaws.
Very grateful for any help with this,
David.

Works for me and I’m on same version. You didn’t accidentally turn numlock on, did you?

This might sound crazy, but test with another keyboard if you have an extra. I had a keyboard quit working with the Escape and numpad delete key. Different keyboard, back to working.

Hi,
I notice it works fine when I use shift+dots 4-6 on my focus 80. No, numlock is off and it used to work fine with this keyboard, Route PC to jaws works fine, Thanks,
David.

It doesn’t sound crazy at all. Keyboards can short out very easily and that’s one of the primary symptoms – some of the keys will not work. A good reason not to eat and drink in front of your computer I guess *grins*… But before we go there – what happens when you press jaws key + minus then? Does jaws announce anything? Or is it silent? DO other jaws key combinations work? What if you turn keyboard help on—can you use the combinationt hen? Finally, you tried just restarting jaws and/or the computer?

Hi,
Other combinations work fine. When I press route jaws to pc, nothing happens, and jaws says nothing. However, it does switch on the jaws cursor. Tried restarting jaws, and when that failed, restarted PC, all to no avail,
Thanks,
David.

Here’s a thought. Switch to the laptop keyboard layout and see if you can do it with capslock as the JAWS key. That’ll rule out if the problem is with your numpad 0.

Hi there, have you sent your jobs back to factory settings, that could also help in some ways. I know that’s a pain in the butt, but however that might only be the only way to restore all your JAWS settings. I hope this helps.

Here's a quick way to run Jaws 2020 with its
default settings. This will determine if it's 1 of your settings that
causing this or something else.
Hold down the, Insert key, then press the,
spacebar, to activate the layered keystroke feature then press the letter,
Z. This will temporarily bypass
your settings and put Jaws into it's factory default settings mode. This keystroke is a toggle so, press the key combination sequence again to go back to your personal settings. Temporary bypass using current User Settings and use JAWS factory default = Z. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers!

Are you saying the Layered commands don't work
with your version of J2020? If not, it sounds like you may have more
problems than just the 1 you've asked about.
