Hi Esther,
Am I behind in my emails or what :-)
I indeed have a MacBook pro that has Numlock. The sad thing is that,
when pressing the key, it doesn't say whether NumLock is on or off.
It does say "NumLock" though :-)
So yes, I do get all the numbers using the FN key. Mind you, the
Numlock key is a key I never use. In other words, when wanting to
issue JAWS commands in fusion, I never used the Numlock key.
Cheers,
PS: sorry for the delay...

Hi Jean-Claude,
Do you have one of the new model MacBook Pro laptops without
the num lock (F6) key? I'd like to know whether your "function" M
works as though this were "0" on a numeric keypad, even on the
new MacBook and MacBook Pro models that don't support a full
num pad emulation. (I discovered that some of the num pad keys
corresponding to numbers still work on these models if I turn on
mouse keys, and Tim confirmed that the keys corresponding to
numbers 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 work in NumPad Commander when
mouse keys are turned on for these laptops). (This doesn't apply
to Orin's specific question, since with the iMac he's using a
full (desktop) keyboard with num pad, but this may be of interest
to users with the new laptops who run Fusion.)
Cheers,
Esther

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro and what I did is use the desktop layout but, I
went in jaws conf manager, loaded the default file (because the
option
only appears for this one). I checked the box that says Èinsert
mode. This removes the need for chording the insert key when
invoking
JAWS functions.. In other words, say you wanted to hear the
application title, youèd press insert, release it, then press T. So
in your situation (and everybodyès) it beomes much easier to live...
Back to our example, to get the title of the current windows, I press
'function" M, then t,
HTH

Hey all,
Please, I'd rather not use window eyes. There must be a way to fix
this stupid problem regarding the jaws key. I turned on the laptop
layout and tried using the Mac capslock and the Mac capslock comes
on.
I couldn't find insert on my iMac keyboard either.
This is all I'll need, really.
Thanks.
