[nfbcs] Keyboard Shortcut?

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

I think that in Windows 7, in addition to any hotkeys your laptop may have, Windows-P cycles you among several display options.  I haven't experimented with this to see whether the choices are readable by Window-Eyes or not.

I second what Steve said. I have seen the key change from machine to machine even with the same manufacturer. Best bet is the manual. Unless you know the model of the laptop. Then you might be able to look up the information from the manufactuerer's web site. I have been successful finding out the keystroke that way.

Nicole,

Usually this is done on a laptop by holding down the "FN" key and pressing another key, usually a function key.  However, the specific key used varies with the computer.  I have even seen Dell laptops that don't use the same key to do this.  You will have to check your computers manual.  Usually there is a manual on your hard drive somewhere.  Some laptops have the FN key assignments written on the keys as well, so having someone look at your keyboard, starting with the functions, might allow you to find it without using the manual.  If anyone else answers here, it will only be luck if it is the correct key, and if you press the wrong key you could do something else you don't mean to do like muting your sound or turning off your wireless or bluetooth.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
