Hi Mitch,
I experienced the same problem with the capslock not being passed through
with Fusion. My evaluation of it has expired so I can't test this, but
there's a utility called sharpkeys that allows you to remap keys. From what
people have said I know it works a treat on bootcamp, whether it'll be as
effective in Fusion I'm not sure, but its worth a go. A google search for
download sharpkeys just turned up a load of download locations for me, so
you shouldn't have any trouble finding the program.

Subject: VMWare Fusion / Jaws / Windows XP
Greetings List,
I apologize in advance for the cross post.
This is just a quick email to ask if anyone has found a work around for
using Jaws under VMware Fusion with a laptop keyboard layout.
Unfortunately I require Windows at work for Eclipse (a Java IDE), which
doesn't seem to work with VoiceOver at this time.
I have configured a virtual machine in VMware Fusion running Windows XP
and
installed Jaws 6.2 (yes I know it's a bit out of date, but as I mainly use
the Leopard now, I don't see the point in upgrading).
I have always used JAWS with the laptop keyboard layout back in my Windows
days, however I find that under Fusion, the capslock key isn't getting
passed to the virtual machine in such a way that it works with JAWS.
So I thought I would drop a quick email to the list with the following
questions.
* has anyone found a way to get this working in VMware Fusion with out
falling back on the desktop keyboard layout?
* Does JAWS now work in Parallels (I see from a quick google search that
it
had some issues), and if this is now working, does it suffer from the same
issue?
* Long shot I know, but has anyone managed to get Eclipse to work with
VoiceOver?
I know I can just use bootcamp and these issues would go away, however
that
wouldn't allow me the ability to switch seamlessly between OSX and Windows
with out rebooting.
Any comments / suggestions / feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch
