INTRODUCTION When you use a Windows (PC) keyboard on a Macintosh computer, the keyboard shortcuts that you use map to different keys. In particular, the primary key that is used in keyboard shortcuts in combination with other keys is frequently different. Oct 07, 2020 Remove Keyboard Layout on Mac; How to Change Default Keyboard Layout on Mac. Launch System Preferences on your Mac. Now, click on Keyboard. On the next screen, click on the 'Input Sources tab' and then click on the '+' button that is located on the bottom left. Next up, select the desired language on. Although there's no full built-in keyboard remapper for Mac OS X, you can remap shortcuts. You can also remap modifier keys in the Keyboard System Preferences pane. While this feature is slim.

Click here to return to the '10.4: Remapping keys in Mac OS X 10.4' hint |
Finally I can reassign that dreadful Enter key on my MBP to nice and useful Option key! Thank you!
Tell me, how exactly am I supposed to remap the Caps Lock key to the Escape key using DoubleCommand? :P
Be warned that DoubleCommand issues a kernel panic on boot with the lastest Mac OS X 10.4.7 on Intel machines, at least on my two laptops
I found the utility to be extremely useful until I found myself without the capability of booting my Macbook :(
Awesome.
I'm sure that it drove you nuts, but it was fun to read...
I'm glad to hear it. :)
of course, the use of Apple's Plist Editor (I think every MOXH.com reader should know it, othervise it comes with developer tools) will spare you time about the conversion and Terminal stuff!
BTW: Does anyone know is it possible to remap multimedia keys?
(extra buttons that are ment to control Explorer/Media Player/Clipboard on Windows)
These seem to be very different than usual keys (Ukelele keyboard remapper doesn't see them pressed)
Be warned that the code 16, when used as the destination of a mapping, actually causes a kernel panic on keypress -- as I've found out the hard way.
Hmm... do I smell a future April Fool's Trick?? ;-) This is an absolutely horrible april fools joke. A good joke doesn't crash a system, it pranks it. Search for 'cocoa text system' for a hint with lots of pranking capabilities. Remapping the shift button to number pad 0 or something might be pretty good. But a kernel panic button… that's just cruel, in the worst way.
I feel the same way. A good prank can be undone by the victim, but this kernel-panic inducer would be too cruel because it'd be so hard to troubleshoot. Analogy: it's ok to saran-wrap a coworker's cube, because she can unwrap it, but not ok to spray-paint her cube or fill it with concrete.
A good prank idea: Back in oS9 days, I snuck a pair of Applescripts onto a coworker's machine. One of them set the Date and Time options to announce the time [every 15 min. I think]. The other script detected when the first script was deleted, and restored it immediately. It took her a few hours, not that she tried that hard, but she eventually found 'em both. Now that's a prank, and I would only have done it to her or one other person, the only 2 users I knew who were savvy enough to know where to look for the prank's parts.
Incidentally, the latest DoubleCommand (at the link above) works perfectly for me on a Macbook Pro + 10.4.8.
why am i just now learning about this hint?
caps lock = esc
1. remap caps lock to help
2. quicksilver trigger this script:
tell app 'System Events' to key code 53
3. set 'hot key = help' and 'activate = on release'
Is there a way to make arbitrary keys behave as modifier keys? I'm left-handed and my setup doesn't really allow me to have a full-size external keyboard, so I'd like to buy a USB numeric keypad and assign the frequently used modifier keys (cmd, opt, ctrl, fn and shift) to the keys on the keypad.
I looked into DoubleCommand and fKeys and Keyboard Maestro, none of which fit the bill. Perhaps there's a clever hack that strings multiple things together for a solution?
Anyone?
I really need this, so sorry for opening an old post. Anyone have any instruction updates for 10.5.7 in simple easy to understand steps? I'm a terminal newbie but have Apple's Property List editor if that helps. The .global files (I have several) referred to in this hint show no signs of having a 'com.apple.keyboard.modifiermapping key' entry on my system.
I just want to make my right option key act as the enter key which they removed from the newer laptops. Any help is really appreciated, Thanks.
- I created a new dead key map for 'keypad 0'.
- Then, for each key in the dead key map, I added  (ESC) plus the key itself
- For instance, the dead key for 'a' is configured as a (ESC + A)
I bought a new Apple keyboard which has an extra tilde key to the left of the z and before the shift key which is now much less wide than the standard shift key I'm used to. I'd like to remap the tilde key to the left of my Z to also function as a shift key. Is there any way I can do this?
Mac Os Keyboard Mapping Shortcut
This still works with more recent OSX versions. There is no need to convert the plist to XML, just find the most recent ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.*.plistMac Os Keyboard Mapping Windows 10
file, open it in the PropertyList Editor (double-click or call with open), find the section(s) com.apple.keyboard.modifiermapping.* (one for each keyboard), open the section, and copy/paste item entries, modifying as indicated in the hint. Save when finished.For me, I swap Caps Lock and Control, but wanted the right Control key (just left of the arrow keys) to retain functionality as a Control key. So I simply highlighted and deleted the Item mapping between them, and saved; worked perfectly after a logout. Tested on Snow Leopard.
