I'm not having any difficulty getting the screen reader keys using the caps lock. There are a lot of different ways people can be using the virtual machine. Some of those might make a difference. I use mine as a single window, not full screen or unity. I run into various key conflicts but that's not one of them. The bigger problem I've had with JAWS is that it reauthorizes itself every time I reclaim space on the virtual drive. That's a common issue and part of why I don't really recommend JAWS in the virtual machine, but I did just test it and it works OK here using the caps lock fix you've implemented. So I'm not sure what might be going on.
