Chris, I think Kawal's instructions were written before Mavericks, and like a lot of other things, Mavericks has added a few twists. Kawal's instructions work fine and are correct in their general procedure, its just the little wrinkles that Mavericks has added, like getting into and out of

You're exactly right, OSX doesn't pass the caps lock key to the windows VM. The workaround is to remap another key on the keyboard to act as a caps lock or insert key. Many people remap the grave accent key (above the left tab key and below the escape key) to caps lock. This can be done

Hi again, Ok so I tried to remap keys in Fusion and can't get it to work. I get to a list of current mappings and press add. I'm then in a dialog where it seems I'm supposed to choose the key I want to press and then what I want it to map to. There are some checkboxes with all the modifier

Hello Cathrine, I encountered the same problem of getting stuck in the combo box. I found a way to do the remapping of any key in the to combo box to the grave accent key. Here's what needs to be done. 1) VO to the first shift check box and park the mouse on it by pressing VO+command+ F5.
