odd behavior with Nantis Q40 and Mac OS

I wasn't sure if this should go under Mac OS or braille, but I put it under braille, as it is a braille display issue. I have paired my Mantis q40. The display works great, and most of the functions work as expected. However, there is just a few issues; for some reason there is no apostrophe. There is a colon and semicolon next to each other. Also, there is no slash. Beside the p is an @ symbol, and next to that is left and right bracket. And I apologize, it:s backslash that's missing, not slash. Also, I just discovered is I press shift+2 I end ups with quote, and when I press shift and semicolon I get plus. I get the steric if I press shift and colon, that should be apostrophe. Any idea what on earth is causing all of this?

Saw this when I was looking around about another Mantis issue. I hope you solved it already but in case you haven't, I had this issue as well and it is caused by Full Keyboard Access in Accessibility. For some reason, turning it on for the Mantis when using it simply as a keyboard without VoiceOver actually causes more issues than it's supposed to help with. In the Settings app, go to Accessibility > Keyboards and turn off Full Keyboard Access.

I hope HumanWare fixes this at some point. And also gets the Caps Lock to finally work.
