Hi,

I'm having some problems using JAWS in a virtual machine and wondering
if anyone can help.

I'm using JAWS 14 on Windows 7 via VMware.  I usually use an external
keyboard with my MacBook because I'm one handed. I normally  use the
desktop keyboard layout for JAWS but am without an external keyboard
now. I'm wondering how people manage on the Mac keyboard with JAWS.
My understanding is that JAWS should be able to use the caps lock as
the JAWS key but I can't get this to work.  I chose laptop layout from
the keyboard layout in basic settings but whenever I press caps lock
Voiceover just says caps lock on or off and JAWS acts if I'm not
pressing the JAWS key e.g. if I press caps lock and t for title, JAWS
just says t. It's as if the caps lock key isn't being passed through
to Windows. But this is strange because it works properly when I use
NVDA instead of JAWS.

Can anyone help?  Am I missing something?  Any ideas why JAWS/Windows
isn't picking up the caps lock?  Any other way round it?

Thanks,
Catherine
