Hi,

I think that Everett solved this.  I'm pasting in his post:

I solved the JAWS caps lock key problem.

1. Make sure that you have access to an insert key (I remapped right shift to insert using SharpKeys).
2. Make sure that JAWS is using Laptop layout.
3. Open the Configuration manager for the default configuration.
4. Goto Set Options > Keyboard
5. Select Insert for the key that JAWS uses as the JAWS key.
<end quote>

AFAIK, there are two ways to handle the key remapping. One is to get SharpKeys from RandyRants and remap your keys by selecting the key you want to remap and the new target key from the listviews under Windows. Then, save the changes to your Windows Registry file. The other way is to use your keyboard preferences settings under Fusion to remap keys for any operating system on your virtual machine. This requires that you have a Windows USB keyboard for one-time setup use, since you have to press a key instead instead of choosing from a listview to re-assign the functions. Fusion then stores the remapped information under its preferences.

HTH. By the way, I'm not using fusion, so this only summarizes my readings of the various list threads on this topic.

Cheers,

Esther

Hey guys,
I am probably not the first one to ask this question, but all the
better, because most likely that someone will have an answer.
How do you simulate an INSERT key for use with JAWS inside VMWare
Fusion on the new (2.4 GHZ) macbook Pro machines? I remember there was
a lot of talk on this list about the software called Sharp Keys? Is
this the software for Windows or the Mac? The onl one I found is for
Windows.

Thanks for any input, guys.
Vic
