Hi Christopher,
At this time I'm not aware of anyone who has found a way to have the
apple keyboard caps lock work in the VM Fusion application in the same way it
does with Windows screen readers. What most people have done is choose another
key to map as the insert key for example if you are a JAWS user. In my case I
first used Sharp keys on the Windows side. Later I reversed that and turned
off all the Sharp Key stuff. I then used the VM Fusion assignment table to
change the key above tab to be my caps lock modifier. This works pretty well
though I think the Caps lock key is the best modifier for any screen reader.
I did this back in VM Fusion 3.0 and my settings held when I updated to VM 4 so
I don't know exactly how to do it as the interface is quite different. I would
recommend using VM Fusion first as I found it easier and it is nice that the
settings held for future machines and future updates.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Hello all.
Really getting on well with my Macbook Pro 13 Inch. I have installed VMware
Fusion 5 last night and am giving it a test drive before considering to
purchase it for times when I want to use Windows. Now my question is how on
earth do I use the caps lock key in the virtual machine? Asking as I have
installed NVDA and have set it to use the laptop keyboard layout. The caps lock
is simply being ignored and is therefore sent to the host. Is it true that I
need to remap some keys? If so how is this done?
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
