The coding of the keys wouldn’t work, as you say, because there are two keys in
sequence, not just one. And no, Glenn, the double-tap technique does not work
either in this situation.

Hi Chris
Thanks that’s helpful. Lynne and I are definitely planning to buy ProTools,
it’s just a matter of determining why we cannot buy and download, rather than
buy boxed.
Kindest regards

Hi Eric
Point taken, yes. I see where you’re going. I just don’t use those commands
all that often. But if you do, then yes, I certainly see that. However, if
you’re planning on updating to 10.9.3, I don’t know yet whether it’s public,
but you might be disappointed. Maybe your preference
I am using KeyRemapforMacBook version 8.90.3
and PCKeyboardHack version 10.0 with OS X 10.9.3 perfectly well here.
Admittedly, I have not updated either of these recently only because I have not
felt the need to do so nor experienced any issue with not updating.
Also, Eric, it is worth noting
Sarah,
You were looking for the use of KeyboardHack to disable the Control and Option
keys? This would be a difficult side effect and would mean that there would be
no Control key and at least one of the Option keys would be disabled, depending
on your particular keyboard. I am not entirely
Eric spent a lot more time and effort constructing a well composed message. I
agree with his assessment completely.

Gordon,
10.9.3 has been released to non devs, so I see no reason why it would be
nonpublic.

So, I have two questions.
Firstly, how does one remap the vo keys to the caps lock in the first place?
Secondly, what do you then do if down the road you do! need to use the caps

Yes, to be absolutely fair, Eric did make me stop and think. I’m not disputing
what he said – in fact, the more I think about it, the more logical it seems.
I hope and trust that nobody is going to try to turn this into an argument,
because that is definitely not what it is about.

Christopher,
If it is like in windows and Linux, you double-tap the caps lock key
quickly, and it will toggle between locked

For me at least, recently coming to the Mac after many years of Windows use,
the idea that two keys are necessary to control VO seems nonsensical.
Therefore, I immediately made the change. It also seems rather intuitive that
the caps lock key would be the most logical choice since it allows

Regarding your first point, I too came to the Mac after a very long time using
Windows. Now, however, I need to use both and, moreover, on the same machine
preferably at the same time.
I believe that I was the first in the visually impaired community to introduce

Hi gordon and others,
Here are some of the reasons I find having the caps lock key act as the
VO keys a advantage.
I'm a touch typist using the Home row of keys. The caps lock key location
lets me use VO and often keep my fingers ready to go on the Home row. Much
faster work flow
I notice though it does not disable the control and option keys as beeing the
vo function. or at least it didn't when I did the little hack thing. Otherwise
I would have kept the hack thing up and running.
Tc all and be blessed.
