Hi Kawal, this is not correct I don't think.
Holding the ` key and then pressing ; or p I'm able to switch in and out of the
jaws cursor assuming you have the laptop keyboard layout selected under jfw
settings.
Thanks

You were lucky. That is why I had to choose the Grav to be the special caps
lock rather than the capslock key to be the insert key for Jaws. The only
problem I have is that I can't do insert J or the keystroke to open the jaws
option. If I want to bring up the options, I have to do windows r
Hi.
When I run windows 7 in VM, I don't need to do anything special to the keys, I
automatically get F1 to 10 as in system preferences, under keyboard, it says
use standard function keys and the box is checked then it says use the FM key
to use special functions.

Hi Kawal and all.
The sharp keys pointer was excellent. I have a jaws key now under Fusion using
the ` key mapped to the capslock. This looks like a powerful tool.
As a side note, my coworker and I remapped the m and n on my bosses keyboard,
hahahahaha.
Thanks

Ester, thanks so much! Once again you amaze and astonish us with your
knowledge of the Mac. I always read your posts, even if I'm not particularly
interested in the subject. I never fail to learn something from them. You are
an incredible and invaluable resource to this community and I

We have a pretty good group here that get along well. He's my boss on paper

Kawal and Scott, I think I tried to over think this whole process at first and
made it more difficult than it ultimately was. Scott, I think I had to jump
back to the Mac side and unzip the Sharp Keys Program with the Unarchiver for
Mac, because I didn't have an applications key, but I really

I have a Mac Book Pro. No USB keyboard.
Follow the instructions in the post if you can, start the sharp key program in
your virtual machine. Remember to unzip it first. Then there is the first
list where you select the key to change. i.e. the grave key. Then in the next
column which you

Kawal, do you use a USB keyboard with the MBP, JAWS and Fusion, or do you just
use the MBP? Will these adjustments in Sharp Keys give the Macbook Pro's
keyboard an insert key and cause the windows keys and alt keys to change
position? Sorry to be so dense, but I'm really having trouble
I finally got it. I used Sharp Keys and now have a Jaws key and an
applications key. Yea I still can't get F9 through F12. Anybody have an

This looks promising...One question, how do we access Jaws keyboard help? I
guess it has been a long time since I have used/needed this particular
functionality.

Hi Christy, I'd used Fusion with Windows before, and SA. In my experience,

with Voiceover on, while in the VM window, worked pretty consistently to bring
keyboard input to the VM. Took fusion, and my VM off though,
I hate to say it, but command-g does not always work as it should. I am being
punished for the next year and have to use xp for some coursework. Soon as that
is over, I think I could easily chuck the windows vm. :)

If you're concerned with getting into the window itself, you can interact with
the tool bar, use the VOKey RightArrow and move to the full screen button and

and messages, so I was hoping to maybe see this addressed in one message.

And if so, do you have any tips or tricks?
