fn-m does not work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Esther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 11:40 PM Subject: Re: Fusion and Jaws
Hi Jean-Claude, Do you have one of the new model MacBook Pro laptops without the num lock (F6) key? I'd like to know whether your "function" M works as though this were "0" on a numeric keypad, even on the new MacBook and MacBook Pro models that don't support a full num pad emulation. (I discovered that some of the num pad keys corresponding to numbers still work on these models if I turn on mouse keys, and Tim confirmed that the keys corresponding to numbers 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 work in NumPad Commander when mouse keys are turned on for these laptops). (This doesn't apply to Orin's specific question, since with the iMac he's using a full (desktop) keyboard with num pad, but this may be of interest to users with the new laptops who run Fusion.)
