Hi, Keys not passing through is due to a recent windows update, I don't know which. I see the same with NVDA and VMware and things like NVDA over RDP. I think there is some NVDA ticket that discusses this. Shutting down the screenreader on the host seems to be the only workaround for now. If someone can indicate which update caused this I would be glad trying to uninstall that specific update. Bram On 2/3/2015 1:49 PM, Darragh Ó Héiligh wrote:
Yes. I'm pressing control G. All jaws keys are passed through to the host.
I know I could unload Jaws on the host every time I want to use VMware but that's not practical for me.

Hi,
Can't comment on Workstation with Jaws but it works well with SuperNova & all keys get sent to the guest correctly. Stupid question but are you remembering to press control + g before trying to do anything in the guest?
Cheers, Ben.

I'm asking the question again so sorry for the repetition. What software are you using on your desktop to run vitual machines?
I need to run VM's on Windows 8.1 X64. These VM's will primarily run Windows 7 but it's likely I'll need to spin up a few Linux VM's as well.
Any suggestions?
I was usingVMware workstation for a good while but the jaws keys weren't passing through to the guest.
I tried Hyper-V but I had no luck with that at all as exclusive mode wouldn't work properly. Again with Jaws.
