some keys are not working in VMWare

[grabner]

Hi,

 

I'm using VMWare to emulate Mac OS X 10.6.4. I noticed that I can't get some keystrokes working. E.g.:

 

- FN key

 

- greater key (>)

 

The problem is that I'm using a Windows keyboard and so that keys are not recognized in Mac OS X. What can I do against this?

 

Up to now I only found that (http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/document.html), but I'm not quite sure if it solves my problem.

 

 

 

Cheers,

This is not bumping. This should provide an solution that other people in my situation can help.

 

I tried to search with:

 

• "angle bracket" mac os x
  
• "simulate keyboard" stroke "mac os x"
  
• "mac os x" how to recognize key stroke
  

 

This should provide some keywords to find this topic better.

 

But nothing helped me to find a solution. What I found out is that the key strokes doesn't do anything. So they are not recognized. The only solution was to remap the key strokes. I took the program from my first post and selected the following options:

• Swap Circumflex(^) and Less-Than(<) (only in virtual machine)
  
• Application Key to Fn
  

 

Now that is something I can live with.

 

So it seems I will not use this forum again. The user helps user principle doesn't seem to work here. There are only questions but no real solutions. I will not recommend this forum.

 

PS: Now I understand why you forbid bumping. User won't get a solution here so they try to make their topic available to a greater audience. I posted one thread and my topic was on page two after ~12 hours. So no one would read my topic again. 6 views? I know another forum where I get an answer of one of this 6 views (alltough 6 views are not much). So good bye.
