Re: caps lock as screen reader modifier on Windows VM?

FWIW, I have the same setup but use the right option key as the modifier—but that’s because the accent key, when shifted, means “home directory” in Unix. > On Dec 2, 2016, at 10:31 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > > Thanks guys. I've installed Sharp Keys, and am using the accent key

Thanks guys. I've installed Sharp Keys, and am using the accent key as my modifier. I'd prefer caps lock, but this works for now, and is supported by Sierra. -- Alex Hall > On Nov 29, 2016, at 10:36, Andrew Lamanche wrote: > > Hello, > > I just want to add that Karabiner

Hello, I just want to add that Karabiner doesn't at present work under Sierra OS. An update is coming but we don't know when yet. So whilst the method described in the article Rachel has kindly posted, it will not work in Sierra if you run VmWare fusion with Windows in this operating system.

caps lock as screen reader modifier on Windows VM?

2016-11-28 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all, I have Windows running on my MBP using Fusion. How do I get caps lock to act as a modifier for NVDA? Even with VoiceOver completely off, Windows doesn't seem to see the key correctly. Narrator speaks it when I press it, so Windows knows about it, but NVDA just won't use it like it
