Hello, I've been trying to follow your very helpful instructions to remap an insert key in Windows running in VMWare fusion so that I can use it as Jaws key. You suggest choosing right option key to become the insert key. However, I do not see an right option key choice in the list, just option key. And when I remapped it to insert key, I couldn't then use it as a regular Alt key to open menus in Windows and Windows applications. If this topic is not appropriate for the list, if you kindly wish to continue with it, please e-mail off list.
