I have just implemented this new routing of caps lock functionality, but I am also unable to use the keys on the keyboard to perform typical jaws functions. The insert or caps lock j key works to bring up the context menu, but the other keys, such as the ;, ' and left and right [ ] only do their regular functions.
Any suggestions? In my case, I am using VMware Fusion and a Windows XP installation.
