Need ENTER / return key on LEFT side of keyboard

I need an enter / return key (or key combo) on left side of my keyboard. Any idea how to do that?
Thanks, in advance!

Startly's QuicKeys is probably the least troublesome way because some programs ignore the system settings.

  • Desparate for a single key on left side of keyboard that serves as DELETE

    I am running a MacBook Pro on 10.5.8 using Microsoft Word 2008. My right arm has aching tendonitis and enabling my left hand to delete stuff would help a ton.
    Thus, I desparately need a single-key (not function+key or command+key) that DELETES letters or words in Word, that sits on the far side of the keyboard. I'd give up fn, or `, or even capslock. **** even tab!
    I've tried DoubleCommand. It will remap delete onto the CapsLock key but then only deletes a character every other key press (apparently only works when capslock turns ON). This *****.
    KeyRemap4MacBook says it will remap ` to DELETE but that simply does not work in Word. It can also remap fn to Command_L but that also doesn't work (yes, I assigned Command_L to DeleteWord in Word's keyboard shortcuts).
    I am desparate to keep writing and save my right arm's tendons! Please help!!
    Thanks.

    You should be able to reassign one of the F1~ series keys via the
    Keyboard and Mouse system preference panel; or maybe if not in
    there, see the Univeral Access; you may be able to also use an
    option by the name of Mouse Keys.
    There also may be some other possibility, since there are folks
    out there who have used two mice; and other set-ups. Even a
    few who have used their feet to control their computers.
    A way to use a Script (automator) to create a means to select/delete
    words would be one consideration; however it may launch improperly.

    The DoubleCommand app supposedly has a way to make the Caps Lock
    button work as a Delete key, according to reader posts on this topic who
    had been using a MacBook computer and needed a left-side Delete key.
    {An issue exists in assigning a key to do a different function, when some
    other Application needs that key, as-is (or as-was) to perform tasks in it.}
    However, the native means of re-assigning a key function in Sys Pref>
    Keyboard & Mouse panel, or some workaround in Universal Access
    may be something you can customize or use directly.
    The topic has been discussed in these user boards before your post:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11668747
    While I haven't really looked into this, there should be more than a few
    ways of making a left-side Delete key out of some other key, in the OS.
    Perhaps someone with more key assigning experience has better ideas?
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Enter/return key issue.

    We have a new Macbook Pro and the enter/return key does not work with software unless we push the shift key at the same time. It only does this on one user as well. Other users on the computer the enter/return key works fine. As an example - if you are done with a sentence in Pages and you hit the enter/return button to go to the next line nothing happens unless you also hold the shift key down. Any ideas?

    I have found a solution that works in Excel 2011. But you can try to see if this solution would work for Pages also. Remember, where the instructions below refer to Excel substitute it with Pages instead. From what I am understanding you want to click the RETURN key and move down to the next line in the document. Hopefully it works.
    If you want to click the RETURN key and have the cursor go from the current cell to the the next row in Column A (i.e. The cursor is in cell B2, click RETURN, the cursor moves to A3) do the following:
    1) Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your desktop.
    2) Click SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
    3) Click KEYBOARD.
    4) In the KEYBOARD box click KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS.
    5) Click APPLICATION SHORTCUTS from the left menu.
    6) Click the + (plus sign) that appears to the left of the Restore Defaults
    button.
    6) In the box that appears select EXCEL for the APPLICATION you want to apply this shortcut to. (if Excel does not appear on the list, click on OTHER at the bottom of the list, click MICROSOFT OFFICE, then click EXCEL).
    7) In the MENU TITLE field enter the name you would like to give this shortcut (i.e. ACTIVE CELL). Click the RETURN key(enter) to continue.
    The cursors will now appear in the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT field. Click the RETURN (enter) key once. The shortcut will now appear in the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT field.
    9) Click ADD.
    Now go into the spreadsheet and test the shortcut. Enter information into the spreadsheet into a number of cells in the same row (move between the cells either with the TAB key or RIGHT ARROW), When you are done entering your information, then click RETURN. The cursor should now move to the next row in COLUMN A (i.e. The cursor is in cell B2, click RETURN, the cursor moves to A3).
    Hope it works for you as well as it did for me.

  • OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

    I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
    I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11. 

    Hi,
    Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
    Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
    If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
    Home tab > Basic Text.

  • HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

    Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

    I was wondering this too.  Did you ever get an answer?  I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces.  I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat.  When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes.  When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher.  I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side.  If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes.  Hope we get an answer soon.  Im about to return everything its so frustrating. 

  • I can't open my mail unless I use the Enter/Return key or go to the File -Open Message

    Up until yesterday I could open an email just by double clicking the message. Now if I want to open a message I have to use the Enter/Return key or go into FILE and press Open Message.
    The only thing different since yesterday morning is that I decided to turn off File Vault --that process took all day but finally finished and that's when I ran into problems with mail.
    I've checked my mail settings and they are the same as before. Have OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 installed.

    <blockquote>
    Is this problem in Firefox? It sounds as if you are referring to an email program such as Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. As far as I know, you can't open emails in Firefox with File > Open Message because there is no such option.
    </blockquote>
    Thank you for your response. I finally found out why this was happening. It had to do with the Trackpad settings for my Mac. I adjusted the track speed to a slower speed as it was set quite fast. This seems to have fixed the problem :)
    I’m not too computer savy so sometimes things can be a little confusing trying to figure out whats what and where to look for solutions.
    Thank you

  • HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • Keyboard keys on left side hard to use

    I'm coming from a Samsung infusend am having the strangest time getting used to the left side of the razr keyboard.
    It's like it's shifted a little too far to the right so I keep pressing 'a' when I want to press 's'. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hello nitegale and welcome to community,
    It could also be that the keyboard has not been properly fitted, you just need to remove the keyboard and reseat it.

  • "Return" key code (bottom right of keyboard, Director doesn't recognize

    Dear All,
    I am trying to write a script that takes place when a user
    presses the RETURN key located on the numeric keypad-bottom right
    corner of the keyboard-but director doesn't seem to acknowledge the
    key when it is pressed. It doesn't even go into "on keyDown"
    script. Any ideas from anyone who has done this? Director works ok
    for the "big" RETURN key in the middle but not for this one.
    Thank you
    Alex

    The two keys are not the same. On my PC there is only one
    return key; they are usually marked with an arrow that symbolizes a
    carriage return.
    The one on the numeric keypad is called the ENTER key. Look
    up the enter key in the docs.

  • Macbook Pro power button and dvd-r on left side of keyboard.

    Ok need some expert knowledge. I've come across a 2008 macbook pro for sale. Only thing is the power button and the dvd-r drive are on the left side of the machine. Anyone seen this before?? Could it be from another country originally??

    If you look at it in a mirror, it will be just fine. (sorry, but I can't resist)
    As Ashka says, that is not a MBP.  Buy it if you want, but understand you are not getting an Apple product.
    Ciao.

  • Left side of keyboard won't work, right side isn't right

    Whole left side of MacBook Pro not working at all and right side shows symbols but not the correct ones. Trackpad works fine and top row of keys works all the way across - light, sound, etc. did not spill anything on it. Was working just fine before.

    I dont want to shut down because if I do and it doesn't fix the issue I won't be able to log back in. I am running 10.5.8

  • Enter/Return Key

    Hi all, I have been using macs for years, but this is my first Macbook. I love it so far, but I do have a question about the return/enter key. Mine does not seem to function. I have to use the enter key located by the apple key. Is there some easy fix that I can do, or is this something that needs to be addressed by service?
    Thanks! I look forward to your responses.
    Annette

    Hi Annette,
    It's hard to say but judging by the fact that it's only that one key I would venture a guess that it's hardware related. If you have an Apple Store close by I'd take it in or if not give Apple a call and see what they say.
    As I say my guess is it'll be something that'll need repairing.

  • Using "Enter /Return" Key to submit a query

    All:
    I could not find any straight forward solution to my problem. I have report that has a search column (text) and I limit records based on the value entered in this text item. I have a "go" button that initiate the fetch. However, how do I achieve the same functionality when I press the enter key. Currently, when I press the enter key, it reports the following:
    ERR-1777: Page 5 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
    Restart Application
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Rajesh - If the only two ways to submit the page are to use the button or to press the Enter key in a text field, then you can simply remove the when-button-pressed condition from the page branch. Then the branch will fire now matter how the page is submitted. As it is now, the branch does not fire when the Enter key submits the page so the engine looks for the next branch that could be a candidate but fails to find one and you see the error message.
    Sometimes you need a page that is submitted by the Enter key to be handled as if a certain button (or "request" value) were pressed. In these cases, you can use javascript to make the Enter key set the request value to your liking. One way is to put code like the following in the page's HTML Header attribute, using "GO" as the request value in this example:< script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function submitenter(e)
    var keycode;
    if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
    else if (e) keycode = e.which;
    else return true;
    if (keycode == 13)
       doSubmit('GO');
       return false;
    else
       return true;
    //-->
    </script>With this code, a page submitted with the Enter key would have a request value of "GO" and could be treated the same way as if a button with a request value of "GO" submitted the page.

  • ITS mobile - Enter / Return key function in windows mobile

    Hi,
    I am using ITSMOBILE with a RF gun. I have developed screens but when using ENTER key on the RF device, it does not work. I have checked in IE6 and it works. It seems it is an issue with the RF device.
    Does anyone have an idea to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Emmanuel

    Hi Ganesh,
    What browser are you using?
    In your situation I believe you are tryuing to use function keys with an Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile? Up to Windows Mobile 6.5, IE does not support the OnKeyPress Event.
    This issues needs to be solved by using an industry Browser which remaps the KeyPressed Events to javascript functions.
    You will need to use an Industrial Browser I.E the Motorola Symbol PocketBrowser which should be available with Symbol MC9090 device
    Then you can have the key mapping according to the technical manual of you Industrial Browser.
