Hi Denis, In keyboards that follows the traditional layout, Scroll Lock is abobe the Home key on the main or extended keyboard, that is, abobe the center of the keyboard area that JAWS help names “the six pack”. In some new keyboards and most laptops, location of this key varies between manufacturers and models, and may even require to press also an FN (Function) key.
Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Dennis Long Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2018 1:28 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] volume short cut Where is the scroll lock key? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fernando Gregoire Sent: Monday, March 26, 2018 10:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] volume short cut Hi Holger, Answers you were given are for quickly opening Volume Mixer, but they actually don't change the volume. In case your keyboard has no volume keys, JAWS provides two scripts, IncreaseSystemVolume and DecreaseSystemVolume, that respectively raises or lower the volume from any application, with no need to open any additional window, and they announce the volume level to which you just set. By default these scripts have no key assignment, but it is easy to map to a convenient keystroke: 1. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS window or context menu, depending on your setting. 2. Press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu or sub-menu, depending on your setting. 3. Press K to open Keyboard Manager. 4. When Keyboard Manager opens, press TAB to move to the right pane, that is, the one containing key mappings of the file selected in the left pane, that should be Default if you launched Keyboard Manager as I indicated. If you ran Keyboard Manager in a different way, press CTRL+SHIFT+D to make sure you're working in the Default file instead of the one specific for the application from which you opened Keyboard Manager. 5. In the list view, find the script whose name is DecreaseSystemVolume. You'll find that it is not assigned to any key. 6. Press CTRL+A to add a keystroke to this script. 7. Press the keystroke you want to use to lower the volume. In my desktop computer I use CTRL+SCROLL LOCK+DOWN ARROW. 8. Press ENTER, and choose OK in the confirmation dialog which appears. 9. You'll be returned to the list view of scripts. Do the same with the IncreaseSystemVolume script, which you could assign to CTRL+SCROLL LOCK+UP ARROW. 10. Close Keyboard Manager with ALT+F4. Advantages of this method are that volume is changed on the fly with no need to change the application, and it works even when you are on the Windows Logon screen. As a disadvantage, these keystrokes don't work when you aren't using JAWS or when you are in a program in which you configured JAWS to be in Sleep Mode.
