Change the keyboard layout in JAWS to lap top. Then you won't need the numpad keys. I don't think there's really a practical way to get them working. In the lap top layout there are alternatives for all of those key combinations and they will work with the remapped caps lock key. On Feb 27, 201

Oh, you can look at your current widgets by pressing VO-f2 twice quickly, and you can add an already-installed widget by right-arrowong into the widget bar and pressing enter on it. The thing that's stumping me is finding the widget manager, which is supposed to be "on the left side of the scree

Hey Teresa, In Mountain Lion the Widgets Manager didn't work with VO. You could add widgets but couldn't delete them or edit the order. Good luck playing with it, and hopefully you won't end up banging your head up against the wall like I did. On Feb 27, 2014, at 7:28 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote:

Did you go into dashboard first with f12? That is the point where you hit VO-f2 twice quickly. widgets are like mini-applets for various applications on the Mac. You can pop in and out to accomplish a task without having to open the full app. I even have a little Braille translation of free text
