Yes it is, I use a usb windows keyboard on my vm fusion setup and it works fine,\ The worse part if any would be that you have to go tel the vm machine to see the kb, but in most cases I have no problem with it being found automatically.

I am using Fusion but it doesn't matter where I put an insert key there is no jaws cursor.

Its a bit of a unix challenge and I am still working through the challenges of doing it. Based on my research. the Mac help key is the insert key on the standard keyboard. For macbooks and the keyboards minus a number pad, this key isn't available. I can't make any promises but I'll try and map an existing key to this key and script it. I haven't done any real unix scripting for 10 years or so and therefore, I'm real rusty at it. >>>> >>>> In the meantime, if someone comes up with something else, that'd be great. >>>> >>>> I remember the classic laptop keyboard configurations being an option in earlier versions of jaws but that doesn't seem to be available anymore. >>>> >>>> Kev >>>> On Jun 27, 2010, at 4:11 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hi Kev. >>>>> >>>>> Glad you have bought this subject up.
