Re: insert key remapping not working on right side of the keyboard under Fusion ...

2014-08-26 Thread Chris Moore
Jeff, If you're running Seil, you don't need sharp keys. Seil can remap the caps lock key to the insert key. Carabiner also gives you a numeric keypad which you can access using the fn plus the keys on the right side (7 8 9 u i o j k l m / ; p 0). Chris On Aug 26, 2014, at 1:24 PM, Jeff Bisho

Hello guys, Another approach which I am using is to install the carabiner and Seil utilities on your mac. Among other things they remap the caps lock key to the insert key in windows. There is a podcast up on applevis about this. On the mac the caps lock serves as an alternate too the normal

Hi Barry, I probably have a different configuration than you, but here's what works for me. When I start windows and am sure it has focus, I turn VO off. This is done by hitting command + control followed by cmd + f5. To move back to the mac I turn VO on with cmd + control followed by cmd + f5

Are you using conversation view in Mail? If so, your messages are probably being grouped. Which website causes VO to crash? Have you ran disk utility and repaired permissions since upgrading to Lion? On 31 Jul 2011, at 11:15, Naama Shang wrote: > Hi, > I have noticed the following issues sinc

Yes I have seen this too, and it happens in standard view also. I think it has something to do with Mail sorting the items into newest first, previously the oldest message would appear first. I have reported this to Apple, I suggest you do the same. On 1 Aug 2011, at 06:52, Shen wrote: > Hi, >
