I'm trying to get my X-Keys keyboard functioning with Eos Offline for Mac without any success. I've gotten to work with Windows without any trouble. I'm assuming this is related to the persistent Scroll Lock issue for the device to function but the Macbook Pro lacks a scroll lock button/function. Any ideas?

Is there an onscreen keyboard for Macs?  That's how I was able to get XKeys working and program a Scroll Lock macro for our XKeys without a scroll lock button on the wireless keyboard that I have for my PC.

There is an onscreen keyboard, but it lacks a Scroll Lock key. It's my understanding from what I'm reading elsewhere that the Scroll Lock key isn't even recognized by OS X if you were to use a keyboard that does have one.

I've seen that as a suggestion for a scroll lock option elsewhere. I'm working with a Macbook Pro. It lacks anything past F12. I also saw suggestions for Command-F4 and Fn+Alt+F12 among other, none of which seem to do the trick with Eos Offline.
