  • E71: how to remap keyboard keys

    Hi!
    I was wondering whether there is a way to remap the keys on the qwerty keyboard on E71. I basically want a different layout. Is there any system utility I could use, buy, etc.?
    The reason I want this is because a standard native Russian keyboard ("jetsukeng" as it is called) is something I am not used to. I prefer a phonetic keyboard sometimes called "yawerty", so I'd like to use it on E71.
    Thanks in advance,

    Maybe something like Magic Key? http://bit.ly/grQHq
    My experience with Magic Key has been pretty good, on my E71, although I'm not remapping a whole lot of keys. I remap a few keys, so they function differently, depending on which application is active.

  • How to remap keyboard - Looking to switch the "fn" and "control" buttons?

    Hi I was looking for a way to switch the function and control on the bottom left side of the keyboard on my macbook pro laptop. I am used to the control button being the button that is furthest to the left and its just really throwing me off having the fn key all the way to the left. If anyone knows how to remap these keys, I would really appreciate the help.
    Thank you.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

    No, there's no method to swap the functions of the Fn and Ctrl keys.

  • How to remap the PrtScr, Scroll Lock and Pause keys on a PC keyboard?

    This has been bothering me for a long time, I've bought a Cherry's Standard PC Keyboard G80-3000 (forgive to abandoned Apple's USB keyboard) two months ago. It's all good except one thing: THERE IS NO VOLUME CONTROL FUNCTION KEYS ON THIS KEYBOARD!!
    The PreScr key act as F13 and the other two are totally dead! Is there any way I can remap those three to: Increase Volume, Decrease Volume and Mute keys?
    Or any software can create the shortcuts for volume up and down?
    Is it possible or I've been punished?
    SOS!!!

    There are at least a couple of utilities, namely uControl and DoubleCommand, that do part of what you need (key mapping).
    In addition, if you do not worry about XML, you may directly remap your keys following directions you can find here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/Cocoa%20Text%20System.html

  • Remapping function keys

    Does anyone know how to remap the function keys in Rel. 11i? For example, in Rel. 10.7 character base, f10 was the save key. In Rel. 11i, it's Ctrl S. This is not going to be very acceptable by our data entry people.
    Thanks,

    Sue,
    Copy $ORACLE_HOME/forms45/admin/resource/US/fmrpcwed.res to say $FND_MOD/resource/fmrweb.res. This file has the Smart Client mapping that you want. You can change the mapping if you wish. Compare this file to the Standard NCA mapping which is $ORACLE_HOME/forms45/admin/resource/US/fmrweb.res. In your html login file (eg testdb.html), you can map it to this file by adding:
    term=/usr/testdb/10.7/nca/fnd_mod/1.0.0/resource/fmrweb.res or where your $FND_MOD/resource/fmrweb.res is. You add it at ....FNDSCSGN/userid=APPLSYSPUB/PUB&TESTDB fndnam=APPS term=/usr/..../fmrweb.res.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make F8 key to be just F8 key?

    I have problem with MacBook (US keyboard) - F8 is mapped as trigger for keyboard backlight just as on MBP, while MB doesn't have kb backlit at all. I discovered problem when trying to install Windows XP in Parallels - Windows setup asks to press F8 to agree with license before continuing setup. So far I tried everything to make F8 function as simply F8 key with absolutely no luck. Every time I oress it it not only brings grey transparent screen with some tool icon (presumably the backlit screen) but also bumps keyboard input out of Paralles back to OSX. Nothing so far works, no fn key use, disablig and re-enabling dasboard or expose, no luck.
    I would love to remap this key - please someone tell me how to do it.

    I think what you want is in the Keyboard & Mouse control panel. The setting "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features" should make the function keys act as function keys. You would then use the "fn" key in the lower left to access the "hardware" features (like screen brightness, etc.)
    This really just reverses the meaning of the "fn" key, so if you are unable to use fn+f8 now, this might not work either. In that case, you might suspect a defective keyboard.

  • PC keyboard on a Mac, how to remap keyboard?

    Greetings, sorry my poor english.
    I'm using a Genius KB-19e USB keyboard with my new Mac Mini and Mac OS X 10.4.7
    Some of the keys are 'wrong' and I would like to know a way of to 'remap' the keys. The 'wrong' are mostly the special 'accent' keys like ´ `º * + » etc.
    Thank you.

    The ability is there, no doubt about that. The question is how you get there.
    I routinely cycle through several keyboard layouts, including two custom layouts I have been using for 20 years.
    I created them eons ago in MackKeymeleon. It is amazing that they work flawlessly in all versions of OS X by the simple addition of an ".rsrc" extension.
    If you don't find what you need among the predefined keyboard layouts offered in International, you could make your own. I understand it's very easy to do nowadays, though I can't tell you how because I haven't had a need to do it recently.
    Maybe a forum or Google search would turn up what you need.

  • How to combine 2 key masks

    Hi:
    I know how to use a single key mask with an alpha-key to produce a shortcut key (eg ctrl+N).
    But How would I combine 2 key masks such as ctrl and shift so that you can press those 2 keys with another normal alpha-key to produce a shortcut key?
    Please help...
    thanks!

    My guess would be to 'or' them together
    multimask = MASK_SHIFT | MASK_CTRL;
    But without knowing what you are trying to do, it's just a guess.

  • How can a click box support CTRL/SHIFT/ALT in Captivate?

    Hi all,
        How can a click box support CTRL/SHIFT/ALT in Captivate ?
        i.e., It can support click, double click, and right click, can it support "CTRL/SHIFT/ALT" when clicking?
        I need this feature because some user operation requires this.
        We're using Captivate 5.
        Could anybody give me some suggestion?  Tahnks.
    Joseph

    Although you can add Ctrl, Alt and Shift shortcuts to click boxes, they may or may not work, depending on the context where the presentation is running.
    The following comments relate to Captivate 5 presentations.
    If you publish the presentation as an exe file, Shift and Ctrl click boxes will work, but not Alt click boxes. Right-clicks won't be detected, either.
    If you publish as htm + swf for viewing in a browser, you can avoid the right-click problem, but which  shortcuts get detected depends on which browser is being used.
    I have tested Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari, with the following results:
    Alt: No browser passes Alt shortcuts through to the Flash player. If the Alt shortcut is meaningful to the browser itself, that's what happens (e.g., Alt+T will display the Tools menu in Internet Explorer; otherwise nothing happens). Note: Alt click boxes work when you test the presentation in an F8 preview window, but they don't work when the presentation has been published, so the F8 preview is misleading.
    Ctrl: All except Internet Explorer pass all Ctrl shortcuts to the Flash Player, so they are generally safe to use if you can ensure the user will not view the presentation in IE. IE keeps most Ctrl shortcuts for itself, but there are a few (e.g., Ctrl+G) that IE passes to Flash, so you can use Ctrl+G freely, knowing it will work in every browser. Ctrl+M and Ctrl+U are two others
    Shift: All, including Internet Explorer pass Shift shortcuts to the Flash Player. I have sometimes therefore set up a simulation with click boxes that look for a Shift+ shortcut key instead of Alt+, and included an apologetic prompt to tell the user to do so.
    It's a mess! It is essential to test your simulation in whatever environments it will be used in, and adapt it if some shortcut you really want to use doesn't work.

  • Remap caps lock to Ctrl in console (tty)

    I tried to use loadkeys to remap caps lock to Ctrl and Ctrl to caps lock but it doesn't work, because i think use caps lock is easier than press Ctrl when i move around keyboard. so i wonder:
    1. how can i remap caps lock to Ctrl and Ctrl to caps lock in bash (in tty)
    2. how can i remap caps lock to ESC in vim (in tty)
    I tried to modify /usr/local/share/kbd/keymaps/personal.map
    keycode 58 = 29
    keycode 29 = 58
    58 is caps lock keycode
    29 is control keycode.
    Thanks in advanced!

    yep, tks a lot, english is not my native language.
    write a super short script that simply changes keymap before calling vim.
    you mean i need to reload keymap when i call vim. if that i need to modify my .vimrc to call a script to reload the keymap. humm, that's problem, how can i call a script in .vimrc?  i am new to linux so can you show me howto?

  • How to use a key file in the FTP Task using and SSL connection

    In the past I have used this code to set the FTP pass word in an FTP component task in SSIS.
    Does anyone know how to use a Key file in an SSL connection to download a file from an FTP site?  If not can you tell me where I can get the C# code examples to learn how to create a script task or if there is another way in SSIS to download large files

    You can use SFTP for this.
