John, I don't do a lot of scripting, but there must be a call to a script or
function which you could assign to a keystroke which would do this for you.
Cheers
Alex

Of course, I already know I can change ktyping echo setting by pressing
insert+f2. I don't want to have to do that every time I need to enter a
password. In fact, you have to press it three times to set it to none and
then you have to press it yet again to turn it back on.
The cursor is not in a field. This is a command window like the old
Hyperterminal program or like the Terminal app on a Mac. Or like the Win7
command window.

That should be possible just by setting key echo to None. If you want it
field-specific, you'll have to write code that figures out what field the
cursor is in and adjusts that setting accordingly. Years ago I also put out
a "squelch" module that made JAWS say "star" for the characters typed in
fields against which the module is applied. I believe that approach used the
KeyPressedEvent and speechOff or stopSpeech or something like that to get
the job done.
Of course turning Key Echo globally off will lose you more key speech than
you had in mind, and even if you script a way to make displayed typed
characters speak, chances are this combination will cause a sluggish feel -
delayed key echo, sometimes echo of several keys at once as part of a
pronounced word, etc. So if I were doing this, I would want it to be
field-specific, even though that's more work.

Hi,
I would like to write a script for openSsh for Windows that will keep jaws
from speaking the characters I type while entering passwords. It should be
easy to do because the character will not appear on the screen. If the
cursor doesn't move or if the terminal program, openSsh in this case, does
not echo the character back to the screen, jaws should not speak it.
