GemmaA Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 My backspace button on my laptop keyboard is broken, in windows I used a key mapper software to change the home key to backspace. Does anyone know how I can do this is Leo? I have tried using Ukelele but it doesnt seem to work with these keys. Thanks for any help.

Whalid Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Not sure if there is another way but I used Spark to solve some keymapping issues. http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Spark.shtml Hope it helps Whalid Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107078-remap-backspace-key/#findComment-759959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
00diabolic Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 not sure if input remapper would do the trick but give it a try. Also can you please respond back here with an update for whatever solution works. I'm curious myself.

Thanks Though. not sure if input remapper would do the trick but give it a try. Also can you please respond back here with an update for whatever solution works. I'm curious myself. THANKS Thanks for the suggestion, I took alook at this, but its just a pre-set group of changes, non which would help me. I am still looking for a solution and I will of course post it here if I find anything In the mean time, if anyone else has anymore ideas I would be very grateful, thanks.

Whalid Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 GemmaA, I did some tests and you can use spark with some keys to emulate the backspace. I have create 2 keystrokes: Numlock (witch is not very usable in your case) and shift+minus that emulates the backspace. here is a picture And here is my spark backup file some if you or any other user want to try.
