It's not as straight forward as that.  While JAWS loads the jsb file by 
inserting the functions and scripts it contains onto the call stack, it does 
not load any key bindings from the accompanying jkm file.

It is necessary to manually add keystrokes to the jkm file of the application 
using the jsb file.  However, if the jsb file masks functions/scripts in the 
default scripts and default keystrokes exist for these, then it should just 
work since the default keystrokes will pick up the new functions off the call 
stack.  However, not that if the application script file has scripts/functions 
with the same names as any of those in the jsb file being used, then the 
application-specific scripts/functions will take precedence.  I hope that made 
some sense.

Hth,
Andrew.
