That's interesting!
What brand of laptop is it?
I'm looking into getting something else, that will last longer than this
Acer.
Thanks, Joshua

On some laptops, there are keys with double functions. For example, my
laptop has an insert key, but it is also the print screen key. So, when I
want to use the insert key in a JAWS keystroke, I have to press the function
key plus insert plus whatever else is in the keystroke I'm doing. For
example, if I was typing the JAWS links list command, which is insert plus
f7, I would type function plus insert plus f7. Desiree, is this what you're
talking about?
