Re: how to get a caps lock key in ubuntu under fusion
Hi Mat, I am assuming you want to use the caps lock key to run the orca screen reader. If this is the case, you can remap the caps lock key to the escape key from within ubuntu itself. To do this, go into your VM and using orca, look under the system menu. I think its under system preferences. Find the item that says keyboard, and hit enter. There will be an option to change the keyboard type, and there is also a customize button. If you hit this, you will then see an option to swap the caps lock and escape keys. Check this button, hit apply, and orca will now work using the escape key instead of caps lock. Note: Vmware fusion does not pass continuous strings of caps lock to your virtual machine. However, you can hit it once to leave menus and effectively act as your escape key. I hope this helps. John do the following.

Hello list members. How would I go about remapping the right option key to the caps lock key in my ubuntu VM?
