Sorry, this confused me a bit. So, which screen reader in Windows are you
using? Are you saying that you remapped the capslock key to the control key
in VMWare's keyboard mappings? If so, you then are mapping what to what in
SharpKeys? Are you telling SharpKeys to then map the CapsLock key on the
keyboard to the Insert Key? Sorry for this.

Subject: Re: VMWare Fusion 5 with mapping Capslock to Insert

This has been discussed quite a lot on the list if you look through the
archives.

Multiple aproaches are suggested.

keyremap4mac is meant to support this.  I've had it working but found it
flakey.  That's just my experience though, yours may vary and there may have
been bug fixes.

Personally I remap the capslock to control in the mac keyboard prefs and
then use sharpkeys inside windows to remap it to capslock.  

This works perfectly with the only down side being you no longer have a left
control key in windows.  I don't value my left control very highly when in
windows so this solution works for me.
