Moderated Caps lock key is not working

leonard morris
 

I updated Jaws 2022 and installed Jaws 2023. The problem is Jaws caps lock is not working in 2022 and 2023 since the two updates. I have Jaws keyboard layout set to laptop. The Jaws insert key is working on the numeric keyboard correctly for both 2022 and 2023.

Try holding down the control key and then tap the caps lock key.  If you inadvertently press this key combination, this might be the problem.  When you press this key combination it sets the default to opposite of the normal caps/lowercase function.
 
 
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi again,
 
Please disregard my last reply, that keystroke doesn't do what I said.

When you have JAWS set to use the Laptop Keyboartd Layout, you need to press the CAPS LOCK KEY twice quickly, in order for the CAPS LOCK KEY, to perform its function.

I have keyboard layout set to laptop because I need to use the Caps lock key on my Mantis Q40 as the Jaws key since the Braille display does not have numeric keys on the right side like my laptop. I am not trying to lock the caps lock key to input all caps when the key is pressed rapidly which I know how to do when it's needed. Again all was well until my latest Jaws 2022/2023 updates. I will call Freedom Monday and will get their input.

That is interesting, I didn’t know that.

Hi Steven,
 
This is not correct and I posted an apology directly after I posted this incorrect infromation.  Apparently at one time this was true but, I can't get that keystroke to work going back to Jaws16 and Windows7.
