Actually, something like the below was posted quite a while back on one list or the other. Unfortunately, while it does eliminate part of the problem, it does not completely address it.

Hi Jeff, Through some trial and error with JFW in Fusion, I found a couple interesting things when working on a Mac keyboard with no number pad. What I found was that when in Windows in Fusion, turn on keyboard help with Capslock+1 on the number row so you can play. FN+semicolon, This should activate the JAWS cursor. FN+slash This will activate the PC cursor. FN +CapsLock+semicolon This is the route PC to JAWS FN +CapsLock+slash This will route Jaws to PC Experiment with FN + the keys on the righthand side of the keyboard . What is happening is that the FN key + the keys on the righthand side of the keyboard are acting as a numpad. So, you can also find the combos to right and left click and page up/pagedown just like on the numpad. I do find this to be a pain and will take some getting used too, but, it does work. Try it out and good luck. Hope this helps.

Jeff, If you’re running Seil, you don’t need sharp keys. Seil can remap the caps lock key to the insert key. Carabiner also gives you a numeric keypad which you can access using the fn plus the keys on the right side (7 8 9 u i o j k l m / ; p 0).

I have a MacBook Pro running Fusion. I use Seil and Karabiner to remap my caps lock key to the Insert key. I use SharpKeys to flip my alt and window key mappings and all of this is working as I expect, with one exception… I normally use a full sized Apple keyboard while at the office with a numeric keypad on the right. So, this means that the caps lock key doesn’t play a role here for the most part and everything works well for me using the JAWS desktop layout. I have found that if I use the insert key on the numeric keypad or the caps lock key while in Laptop mode that none of the keys past the J key work. Meaning, I can do things like insert-t, caps lock plus s, etc., etc. but anything on the right-hand side of the keyboard doesn’t work. Something interesting to note is that the laptop keys don’t work whether using caps lock or the insert key on the numeric keypad past the letter J. Has anyone run into this issue at all? If so your advice is hugely appreciated. I am wondering if the newer versions of Karabiner or Seil have broken something here?

He wants to remap the caps lock key to be used as a insert key. He followed eric karon's directions, however for some reason cannot get it to work. Here is his question in an audio boo https://audioboo.fm/boos/2422334-need-some-highly-technical-help-regarding-vmware-fusion-6-and-using-it-with-jaws I know this can be done on osx via these 2 pieces of software but how? I have not done the process in about 3 years. if someone can tell me how and I'll forward the answer on to him?
