Dear Brian's Mail List & List: Appears that in Win 7, you need to select language & region and make your changes there. Perhaps my settings, except for language & region, are unique to Win 10 and/or JAWS. Brian K. Lingard From: nvda@nvda.groups.io [mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io] On Behalf Of

It certainly does not work in windows 7, are you sure; this is not a jaws thing?
Yes agreed there are usually multiple ways, but if those keypresses did it, I would
have been in goodness knows what language by now.

Dear Brian & List> I run JAWS 20018 and Win 10.
Windows key plus space bar cycles through the available keyboards, as does
Alt plus shift.
You can also go into the settings menu and select language & region.
Microsoft loves giving you multiple ways of doing the same thing.

Yes I know that, but that is not the issue here at all, In the UK hash was
always number, but I have long since fixed that on. The point is that the
machine has switched its keyboard to us English. Can somebody explain to?
me how to use windows space to fix it the? Has this always been there? I
have
never encountered it in many years, sounds very dangerous if true. I do
know some screenreader can change language using certain easy to hit
keys, as \I'm always rescuing Dolphin users from all sorts of bizarre
languages
and synths!

? The problem is that NVDA have changed how the symbol is named...
/the # sign is now read as Number... /to change that, it is necessary go
to NVDA menu, Preferences, Punctuation/symbol pronunciation... and change
it there...

I would not know how this could be changed accidentally. Would she be?
likely?
to
have system restore on and be able to go back to a couple of days ago,
or
is
it off in 10 by default. Even then, I am not sure it has any effect on
the
installed keyboard language. I have had issues in the past with word
deciding to use American English templates for documents for no good
reason
which really fouls up the spell checker big time!

It sounds like your computer has switched from thinking it has a UK keyboard layout (which has a pound sign on shift-3) to a US layout (which has a
hash symbol on shift-3, and is often read as "number"). >
To confirm this, what do you get by pressing shift-2? >
A UK layout will give you double quote marks; a US layout will give you an
"at" sign. >
