I remember that sharp keys was the solution I used several years back when I was using VMware to run windows on a Mac. I think at that point VMware also had a facility to do some key remapping and I use that method as well. You won’t go wrong using sharp keys though. I’d kind of like to set up windows on my new killer MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip, but I just don’t have the interest anymore. I was thinking of getting some inexpensive laptop with windows installed but I don’t know what’s out there that’s worth buying anymore.  Any suggestions on that line would be appreciated as well.

I’ve also  tried vm where and could never get it to work.

Hello,

The solution I use here is to remap a different key on the Windows VM to be Capslock. I typically turn the accent/tilde key into Capslock. You can find a program called Sharp Keys to do this. It basically edits a registry value.

You can also look for PowerToys in the Windows App Store. That also does key remapping.

to set it up, I have to use VOCR to read the screen.
My VO key is caps lock key.
it’s like the VM doesn’t see the key.

Are you saying that parallels is now accessible at least to some degree? I thought it was a complete black box for Mac voiceover users

As  strange as it seems, telling VoiceOver to use the CAPSLOCK key and keeping VoiceOver running while in Windows might resolve this issue. It did for me with VMWare 3 years ago.

Hi folks.
I still have and intel mac and wanted to get a new one in the new year.
I’ve been playing with Parallels, and so far I like it.
I just can’t seem to get the Caps lock key to work with Jaws or NVDA.
Does Anyone have any idea?
