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.

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.

Remapping keyboard keys (again)

Hi Svet,
I got my bios unlocked, a few keyboard keys remapped (ALT and CTRL swapped and a couple of others) and fan curves updated of my GS70 2OD-002US a while ago. I would like to get the left CTRL and left ALT back in the old positions. But I noticed that since MSI forum is revamped all my PMs are gone. Since the last mod I reinstalled Windows 8.1 in Legacy BIOS mode (disabled UEFI and erased all MSI partitions) and installed Linux Mint 17.1 along side of it (with RAID0). Please let me know if it is safe to flash a keyboard remapping now. My old post is here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=180399.0

check PM how to fix your old account
and also i need more clarify about the new stuffs that you ask me

C#: How to convert Keyboard.key (Unicode char as number) into correct char?

Our application uses barcode scanner.
when scanning a barcode and convert Keyboard.key (as ushort with value 16, it represents char ':') by using
1)(char)(Keyboard.key)
2) or Convert.ToChar(Keyboard.key),
both way convert into symbol '+'.
How to convert into ':'?
What is a correct way to convert Keyboard.key as ushort into correct char? Thx!
JaneC

Hi Dan Nemec,
It is normal '+'. It is special '+' symbol.
We search a little bit and find out Unicode ':' is 3A and value is not 16.
So during the process barcode scanner, the value has been changed in some way.
We are trying to find out where the value has been changed.

Remapping keyboard keys on the Vista side...

No problems with my Vista x32 install on BootCamp (via Leopard). But as an old PC person who's switched to Apple hardware (will get to Leopard down the road), I'd like to remap a few of the keys. Specifically, would be nice to swap the two Apple & ENTER keys to the right of the spacebar back to ALT & CTRL that we're used to on the PC side. Anyone found a good utility that lets you map specific keys?
I know this won't be an "Apple" question but thinking someone here might be in the same boat as me. I've seen some that replace the BootCamp keyboard drivers (like the one that adds fan controls), but that's not what I'm looking for. I just want to remap one or two keys, not replace the entire existing map.
TIA

To reule out software problem try:
- A reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem thismn it would appear to be due to a hadware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Portege R700 - how to clean keyboard keys?

Hi
I have a Toshiba Portege R700 - and I have spilt some coke onto a small section of the keyboard.
Unsurprisingly, two or three keys are now "sticky".
Is this as simple as getting access to the keyboard and cleaning the relevant keys?
Or is it not as simple as that?
If I can do this, is there a pictorial guide on how to access the keyboard?
I am loathe to open it without a look at the tech manual first.
Thanks

Hello
In my opinion you will not be able to clean it properly. Coke is full of sugar. It can be complicated but you can try it.
In worst case you must exchange he keyboard.
So what you must do is to remove key cap for each critical button. It is fixed with small plastic holders. Just take something like credit card but more stabile, put under the key cap and try to remove it. Under the key cap is small key mechanism. Try to clean it up with wet cloth. Be very careful and clean it without much pressure.
When you think it is OK place the key cap in the place and press it down, very gently of course.
You will hear click noise and the key cp should be in place again.
I hope you will be able to get it work again.
Please post some feedback.

Remapping keyboard keys using udev hwdb doesn't work on rightAlt

Hi,
I'm trying to use udev hwdb for swapping pairs of keys ( esc, caps_lock ) and ( rightAlt , rightCtrl ) . I followed the instruction here Map Scancodes to Keycodes with procedures describe blow. I only succeed in exchaging pair (esc, caps_lock) but failed in (rightAlt, rightCtrl).
Details of Procedures:
Create an empty file under /usr/lib64/udev/hwdb.d with file name 90-custom-keys.hwdb . Add the following lines into this file.
keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDell*:pn*
KEYBOARD_KEY_01=capslock
KEYBOARD_KEY_3a=esc
KEYBOARD_KEY_e038=rightctrl
KEYBOARD_KEY_e01d=rightalt
Rebuilding hwdb.bin
udevadm hwdb --update
Testing and reboot my system
udevadm --debug test /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
udevadm --debug test-builtin keyboard /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
Parts of the testing result of the last command looks like
device 0x1ce3890 has devpath '/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0'

Thie last 6 lines seems to be complaining the problem, saying that 0xe038 and 0xe01d are invalid scancodes.
But they are scancodes of rightAlt and rightCtrl respectively, which I got from
showkey -s
After rebooting the system with the above settings, esc works as caps_lock and caps_lock works as esc but rightAlt and rightCtrl has no changes.

For USB keyboard, you need to get the scancodes from evtest rather than showkey. You may find a solution from:

How to remap keyboard characters?

I'd like to remap my Russian phonetic keyboard layout to match what this guy did for the Mac: (scroll down to Usage to see the layout that I'm wanting):
http://www.users.bigpond.com/sphynx1/RussianPhonetic/
Does anyone know what files I can edit to get these results?

I'd suggest xmodmap (1) in X; for the Linux Console, you can probably use some dumpkeys- (1) & loadkeys- (1) -fu to do what you want.

Remapping keyboard keys

I have Macbook Pro with US keyboard layout, which is just fine, similar to almost any of the keyboards I have used over the years. Recently I bought a localized (Bulgaria) Apple keyboard, where the positions of "`~" and "§±" are swapped. That's a pain, as I frequently use ` and ~ (Calling Visor (Quake style terminal) and ч/Ч in Bulgarian layout).
Using Ukelele I was able to change the US and Bulgarian - Phonetic layouts, so that the keys positions are swapped, but then there is the problem that this changes the layout on the Macbook keyboard...
Keeping two pairs of layouts - one for the Macbook and one for the keyboard would be a pain. Is there a way to make the "§±" key on the Apple keyboard behave like "`~", while keeping their normal function on the Macbook?

Is there a way to make the "§±" key on the Apple keyboard behave like "`~", while keeping their normal function on the Macbook?
No, whatever custom keyboard layout you have active applies to all keyboards, and there is no way to have it only become active when you are using one of them.

Re: How to fix keyboard keys on Satellite L40?

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can help me...my boyfriends cat laid on my keyboard, the key 'b' jammed and fell off. I have a Satellite L40 series. I have the blue and black hinge and the 'b' key. I require my laptop for various assignments. Please help me!!Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Its tricky to fix this if the plastic hinge is broken.
Not sure if you will be able to replace only the hinge but I found a nice movie on youtube which shows a replacement of such hinges.

However, in worst case you will need to replace the keyboard.

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
