Before I try the method for remapping the caps lock key outlined in Eric's podcast, I want to clarify something. He is somewhat ambiguous about the caps lock functionality in VM's. I can't be sure if pressing caps lock in the VM will produce a caps lock key or an insert key. I don't want to use insert as the jaws modifier, because it conflicts with other jaws insert key combinations. for example, the insert+J key combo is the jaws window dialog key, but in laptop keyboard mode, insert+j reads the prior word. So, using insert as the modifier when in laptop mode, causes a conflict and neither key command will work as a result. Therefore, I want to use the standard laptop mode modifier which is caps lock, as it does not cause this or other conflicts. I am currently using sharp keys to remap the grave accent key to caps lock functionality, and using laptop keyboard mode with caps lock set as the modifier key.
So, my Question is, will the Keyremap4MacBook method produce an insert or caps lock key when pressing the caps lock from within a VM? How are other Jaws users working this? are you using laptop keyboard mode, and if so, have you noticed the "read prior word" (insert+j) command conflict? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
