Hi, Actually, that's not quite correct. CAPS lock works fine for me in Fusion running Windows, though using it as a JAWS key doesn't work. However, it does register both keypresses, and even if you hold it down and hit a JAWS function in keyboard help it will register. Strange, I know. But regular CAPS lock works. Of course, on any Windows machine using the laptop keyboard, you have to hit it twice to turn it on, otherwise it will register as the JAWS key.
A good idea is to remap some functions like PC-cursor, JAWS Cursor, Route PC to JAWS and Route JAWS to PC, not to mention left and right mouse clicks for handling tooltips. This can be done from within the JAWS keyboard manager. There is no "insert" or "applications" key by default, as far as I can figure out, so it is a good idea to remap that using Sharp Keys from http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys As a last tip. Should you wish to use the delete key, apparently hitting backspace does not work as it will simply be backspace, but it is also delete on the Mac. Instead, hold down the function key while hitting the delete key. That should translate it as delete, at least it does on my machine in a virtual machine. Good luck.
