Re: Capslock in Linux
Hi, I’m using a Intel Mac with VM Ware. I never had a problem with the Caps key. Did you select the Caps key or the insert key in the Orca settings?

No, I always run Orca directly on hardware, not virtualized. Your desktop environment of choice may have options to remap keys. If you’re using an X session, there is, if I remember correctly, a configuration file you can create. I would suggest doing some Web searches. The solution is almost certainly in the operating system, not in a third-party tool that you load. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Capslock in Linux
Hi, Does anyone know of a way to issue the Capslock key in a Linux OS when running Parallels on a silicon Mac? On Windows I remap a key using Sharp Keys or the recently updated Windows Power Toys. I’m just trying to figure out how to issue commands to ORCA. Kelly -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Hi Deedra, The purpose of these two programs is to remap the caps lock to an insert key in your vm. As I recall, the correct code is 110 (not 50).

remapping the capslock for linux
So i managed to unearth 2 emails which suggests remapping the capslock to an ` key however doing this in vmware still does not pass the capslock to the vm, it says ` when i type `. does anyone have any info on how to do this for linux? All i see on applevis is stuff for windows something called sharpkeys never heard of it. deedra waters dee...@the-brannons.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
