qimtiger Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think many guyes use Ibm Thinkpad notebook,and I use the thinkpad X31,because it's keyboard hasn't win key,so I can't use tiger's command key,It is very very uninveni... I have found an article: http://www.snark.de/index.cgi/0007 It gives a method to modify the apple abd keyboard's any key to as command key.It seems very powerful. But,I found my tiger load only the ps2 keyboard kext file,and it's info.plist file seems to have no any virtual keyboard section. so,I think can't use this method. Any one can give me a method to modify the keyboard's right alt key as the tiger's command key's function? thx very much.

cauldron Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 On a ThinkPad A31p, Alt was mapped to the Command key; Control was Control, and it was Option that I was missing. I used System Preferences to map Caps Lock to Option -- there's a "Modifier Keys" button in the Keyboard prefs.

But use Capslock as Control,It still isn't a perfect method.
