Re: Eric's Steps

2014-05-27 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi Esther

Actually, I have done more reading on this today, and you’re quite correct 
that, had I done so earlier I could probably have saved myself, and others, 
quite a bit of time.  So my apologies all round for that.  My only excuse is, 
and I agree it’s probably a pretty lame one, all be it true, pressure of work.  
I simply don’t have the time to sit and read as much as I’s like.  But on this 
occasion there’s no doubt that it would probably have paid dividends.

Finally, I have to say that I’m now a convert to the caps lock idea.  There are 
some occasions where it would be useful to have it, (when entering my home 
address for instance).  But there are work-arounds.

 Hi Gordon,
 
 I don't subscribe to your techno-chat list, but after going to that list and 
 reading Colin's repost of Eric's old instructions for using KeyRemap4MacBook 
 and the PCKeyboardHack, I'll just state that they were correct at the time 
 they were written.  Starting with the version 8 releases of both these 
 applications on January 30, 2013, the information on the preferences panes 
 were moved into the main application.  
 
 The end of that post included the lines:
 Below is the link to the new podcast. that walks through these steps. 
 http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/new-updated-remapping-keys-your-macs-keyboard-enhance-voiceover-experience
 
 I'm not sure whether that link will wrap, so I'll provide another shortened 
 version to this AppleVis page with the podcast:
 http://bit.ly/1kFbyDK
 
 Had you gone to that web page, you would have read follow-up comments that 
 stated that as of version 8, the changes Eric requested no longer required a 
 special download link, but were incorporated into the main version of the 
 app, and that also the app had changed its organization so that the 
 preference pane information was now incorporated into the applications.
 
 Finally, I'll just state that another reason for installing KeyRemap4MacBook, 
 whether or not you also install the PCKeyboardHack, is that laptop and Apple 
 Wireless Keyboard users can also then access the full range of NumPad 
 Commander options, as well as having access to a full embedded keypad.  
 
 For more information, including tips on more general configuration of 
 KeyRemap4MacBook, see the archived post:
 • NumPad on laptop Macs and KeyRemap4Macbook
 https://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg12382.html
 
 Note that the post was written when configuration was done in separate 
 preference panes.
 
 Gordon, there were some additional configuration tips for using 
 KeyRemap4MacBook under VMWare Fusion with JAWS written up at a blog site 
 named Flint's Geekiness.  I have the URL saved in an old post on another 
 list, but I can't get to that web site now.  It described further suggestions 
 of disabling Mac Host Shortcuts en masse under the VMWare Fusion Preferences 
 to avoid definition conflicts, and on a further post how to swap the Windows 
 and Alt keys.  I'm not a Windows user, so I didn't separately save the 
 contents of these posts after reading them and noting the URLs.
 
 These were:
 •Mac Virtualization: Making the Caps Lock key work as a JAWS key in VMWare 
 Fusion!

 •VMWare Fusion -- More keyboard tips:
 http://www.themillionweb.net/blog/?p=17
 •Mac Virtualization: More on key remappings, and how to swap the Windows and 
 Alt keys!:
 http://www.themillionweb.net/blog/?p=12
 
 The first page describes what is covered by Eric's instructions, only with 
 the corrections for the preference pane information moved into the 
 KeyRemap4MacBook and PCKeyboardHack apps. The two later blog posts were 
 additional tips for working in the Windows VM.  The links were active July of 
 last year.
 
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 Esther

 Hmm.  I did not see any steps for installation in Eric’s description.  Maybe 
 I missed a message.

 Hi all
 I think I’ve found out what was wrong with the PCKeyboard Hack and 
 KeyboardRemap.  They don’t live in system prefs, not here anyway.  You have 
 to manually launch them either from your applications folder or from 
 Launchpad.  Maybe once you do that, the icons go into system preferences.  
 But that seems to be thstep Eric missed in his description.
 
 Kindest regards
