Re: Windows on the mac question
I have replicated your key mappings and it seems to work - somewhat. How do you get around the fact that [alt] [tab] is no longer an option as it interferes with the Mac [command] [tab] key combination? Also, the insert key stil doesn't make the JFW curser work so, screen exploration is out of the question. A little ore functional now. Thx, Jeff On 2010-06-28, at 5:55 AM, Bryan Smart wrote: > Yep.

Re: Windows on the mac question
I've had a similar problem. Even after mapping a key to insert, I find that it only works for some things. For example, in system access, I can't get an insert-f, which is a major SA command, no matter what I do. Similarly, using caps lock as a modifier under fusion doesn't work, though it works in normal windows. These issues have kept me from using my mac as my primary machine which I really don't like, because I'm hoping to switch over to it permanently very soon. I suppose I can use my external keyboard, but I like having the track pad there when I'm actually in the mac side of things. Very frustrating. - Original Message - From: "Jeff Berwick" To: Sent: Monday, June 28, 2010 6:46 PM Subject: Re: Windows on the mac question It all sounds very simple but, I have not managed to get it to work.

Re: Windows on the mac question
Hi Brian. This is what I do to get an insert key using Sharp keys but the jaws cursor does not work but for instance if I did insert B or insert T then the corresponding functions such as reading dialogue boxes and reading the window titles will work. So why I'm stuck with the jaws cursor. I have the Mac Book Pro which I bought from the United States and is in the american layout. Kawal.

RE: Windows on the mac question
This is very simple. When you run the program, it has a list of keys that you've mapped, which will start off empty. You press the add button. A screen comes up with a listbox for the source key, and another for the key to remap it to. You make your selections and press OK. When you've mapped all of the keys that you want, you press the "write to registry" button. Very simple.

RE: Windows on the mac question
Hi Brian. Could you give me instructions off list how to remap keys as you know by now I wish to have a jaws cursor. I am using Fusion but it doesn't matter where I put an insert key there is no jaws cursor. May be you might share it I don't know as another user is trying to do the same as me. Kawal.

RE: Windows on the mac question
Yep. I use this, too. In Windows under VMWare, I remap the Windows insert key to be my right command key. That way, I can hold down right-command with my thumb to trigger Jaws keyboard shortcuts. I also swapped the left-command and left-option keys, so that the Windows and alt keys are in the normal position. Finally, I altered the reight-option key to be the Windows context key. Sharp Keys is just as useful to reorganize your keyboard in BootCamp. It works by editing the Windows keybaord map in the registry, so it works absolutely everywhere in Windows. You don't need to leave it running as a task tray app or anything like that. Just Google for it. It's popular, and is near the top of the list.

Re: Windows on the mac question
I too have reassigned the grav key for an insert using Sharp keys but the jaws cursor does not work! I've also assigned the right key next to the left arrow as an application key and that's OK. I'm just having problems with getting a jaws cursor! Kawal.

Re: Windows on the mac question
I found some data on remapping keys on the mac keyboard. 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.

Re: Windows on the mac question
Hi Kev. Glad you have bought this subject up. I'm having the same problem. Some time ago, Mark Taylor wrote a message asking people to tell him how others got a jaws cursor. I'm having the same difficulty and need a jaws cursor. So if anyone can kindly tell us how they get around this problem, I'd be so grateful. I desperately need a jaws cursor. Sharp keys will not help me. Kawal. On Jun 26, 2010, at 8:25 PM, Kevin Mattingly wrote: > I'm running vmware fusion on my mac with windows 7.

Re: Windows on the mac question
I actually have nvda installed for anything that gives me problems with jaws. When all else fails, NVDA usually works and of course it is free.

Re: Windows on the mac question
Hi, I too am having an issue with fusion. Every time I start jaws, it wants to install the video intercept manager. I tell it to go ahead, and it gives me an error. Also, and most maddening of all, every time I try to rout jaws to pc or even simply read a document in notepad, all the blasted thing says is "blank." Is there a set of optimum display settings I should use? I really only use Windows for two programs for which there is no mac answer, and not being able to use them is bloody obnoxious. Thanks for any help or advice. Friendly, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Windows on the mac question
Thank you. I guess a Mac Book would have the same issues then. A new keyboard it is. Thanks for your advice, Kev On Jun 26, 2010, at 4:08 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > Sorry you are out of luck there.

Re: Windows on the mac question
Sorry you are out of luck there. Yu will have to either remap it via the mapping utility which is bugy at best with voice over or get a keyboard with a number pad and use the desktop layout.

Windows on the mac question
I'm running vmware fusion on my mac with windows 7. I'm having an issue getting jaws to recognize the caps lock key as the jaws key. When I try and use it in windows, it continues to recognize it as the caps lock key. Anyone have any ideas for resolution?
