Re: [Closing NVDA when NVDA + q does not work

I go a slightly different route (not very different but it might work
better in some situations)
I type "task man" into the windows search and press enter, that
consistently brings up the task manager.
I press ctrl-tab until I hit "processes".
Type nv in rapid succession to get straight to NVDA,
then press alt-e or tab over twice to the button labeled "end process".

This doesn't happen to me very often but sometimes if I try to run
NVDA and Jaws on the same system and forget to shut one down before
starting the other the capslock key is hijacked by one and won't work
with the other, e.g. pressing capslock-q to quit NVDA while Jaws is
running (even if I set Jaws to pass keystroke through).
