In vmware preferences reached by pressing command + comma, select Keyboard and mouse from the toolbar, then select the key remappings tab. Press “add” to create a new key remap. in the first combo box press the accent key, then vo right arrow over to the next combo box. Here’s where it gets a little tricky, and you might need a sighted person to work the mouse. press VO space to open the combo box and arrow down to caps lock. You need to mouse click the text of caps lock, but unfortunately, Mouse routing is not too accurate in the combo box and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. When I route the mouse the vo cursor, and then try to read what’s under the mouse, I get a ding sound and clicking the mouse actually opens the Apple menu instead of clicking the word caps lock in the combo box. If you can get the mouse to click the combo box choice, then uninteract with the combo box and verify your choices, then ppress “okay” to complete the key remapping. If you have problems getting the mouse to click the combo box as I do, get someone with sight to mouse click the word “caps lock” and that should select it. now uninteract and press “okay after verifying the choices. Make sure “enable key mappings” is checked and you are done. Now, in your windows or whatever OS, when you press the accent key, VMWare should present a caps lock to the VM’s OS instead.
