Keyboard Lock - JAWS

Locking Your Keyboard Using JAWS

Something I have always found irritating, when using a screenreader in tandem with my crowded desk, is how easy it is to accidentally knock my keyboard and change my focus on screen. This commonly occurs when I am reading something and, more often than not, the material I am reading touches the keyboard. Voila! My on-screen focus is transported somewhere else...

Now in this kind of scenario I can always use the Windows Lock keystroke. A quick tap of WINDOWS KEY L will lock the screen, thus requiring me to use ALT CONTROL DELETE before I can type my password in and get back to business. However, since JAWS V12, I can also opt to use a JAWS specific keyboard lock feature. This latter option locks the keyboard but doesn't require you to log back in - unlike the Windows Lock. Okay, it isn't as secure as the Windows route (if your screen is on then your data is still visually displayed locked or not) but it is slightly less hassle and does avoid the odd keyboard knock throwing out your focus.

The JAWS Keyboard Lock keystroke is: INSERT SPACEBAR then press letter L. When you use INSERT SPACEBAR you will hear a clicking or tapping sound, at that point press L to lock the keyboard. To unlock, repeat the keystroke and JAWS will indicate "unlocked".

Give it a try and see if it works for you. Have fun!
