Greetings List,
This is just a quick email to ask if anyone has found a work around
for using Jaws under VMware Fusion with a laptop keyboard layout.
Unfortunately I require Windows at work for Eclipse (a Java IDE),
which doesn't seem to work with VoiceOver at this time.
I have configured a virtual machine in VMware Fusion running Windows
XP and installed Jaws 6.2 (yes I know it's a bit out of date, but as I
mainly use the Leopard now, I don't see the point in upgrading).
I have always used JAWS with the laptop keyboard layout back in my
Windows days, however I find that under Fusion, the capslock key isn't
getting passed to the virtual machine in such a way that it works with
JAWS.
So I thought I would drop a quick email to the list with the following
questions.
* has anyone found a way to get this working in VMware Fusion with out
falling back on the desktop keyboard layout?
* Does JAWS now work in Parallels (I see from a quick google search
that it had some issues), and if this is now working, does it suffer
from the same issue?
* Long shot I know, but has anyone managed to get Eclipse to work
with VoiceOver?
I know I can just use bootcamp and these issues would go away, however
that wouldn't allow me the ability to switch seamlessly between OSX
and Windows with out rebooting.
Any comments / suggestions / feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch
