Switch Task Manager to Normal Mode using ONLY KEYBOARD

Anonymous

I am totally blind, and Task Manager somehow got in Tiny Footprint Mode; I need it back in Normal Mode using ONLY KEYBOARD - NO MOUSED!  I started taskmgr.exe from the Run box and tried holding CTRL, ALT, AND SHIFT and pressed ENTER while holding those three keys, but that did not get me back to Normal Mode.  I am using JAWS latest version, and I do not have a mouse on this computer.  I have no sighted help available to switch it back by clicking that darned border somewhere on the screen, and the JAWS mouse emulation keys don't do the job either.  So how can I reliably get Task Manager back to Normal Mode with no sighted help and no mouse?

    Hello Dave,

    You can press the Alt+D keys to toggle between the "Fewer details" and "More details" mode in Task Manager like in option 1 below.
