Simon, The problem is that insert and jaws keys are not the same thing in laptop layout. Laptop layout uses caps lock for the JAWS key, and but not and in some cases also allows insert+somekey to match jaws+somekey.
But all is fixable with some effort since every jaws keystroke is configurable in a text file that can also be mostly managed by the keyboard manager. But this is not an an Apple product so enough of this unless we are creating a specific layout for Macintosh computers running JAWS in a VM. On a side note, those three keys on a PC keyboard like PrintScreen are mapped by default on Macintosh English El Capitain systems to F13 F14 and F15. Another interesting bit of trivia is that the insert key for PC's is called the "help" key on the above mentioned keyboard layout. Oh, it is so much fun to spend 40% of my time in a VMWare environment at least I have keyboards to swap as needed.
