New Mac Keyboard - Remap Function Keys???

Hi there,
I'd like to map the volume up, down and mute controls to F13, F14 & F15.
How can I do this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Wayne
PS - I'm running Leopard on a MBP

Hello wg:
I have the new wireless aluminum KBs, so I do not have those function keys. However, I believe that those functions are not re-mappable.

    New Apple Keyboard Launchpad F4 key does not work
    Hi, I have now got ne new wireless keyboard because my old one broke. I connected the keyboard, the F3 key (Mission Control) functions, the F4 key, especially for Lunchpad does not work, I'm Lion on it, previously on the old keyboard I had in 2009, he occupiedwith Launchpad F5.
    Have System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts reset everything goes ......... but not yet!!
    Maybe someone can help me!!
    Thank you
    greeting

    Hi,
         Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.
    - Quit System Preferences (if open)
    - Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.
    - Then logout
    Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.
    Note2: This document is in your users preferences folder.
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist

  • What happened to F9 and F11 on the new Mac Keyboards?

    As much as I love the new Mac keyboard I cant for the life of me figure/find out what became of the F11 function (That clears your screen entirely.
    Yes F9 is now F3 but what happened to F11?

  • New aluminum keyboard - Remap volume & player keys to F13 - F19?

    (I couldn't see a 'Keyboards' or 'Other Hardware' section of the forum so thought I'd post here).
    I've just bought the new aluminium keyboard. I'm loving it apart from the placement of the volume keys, iTunes/QuickTime control keys etc. I want to remap them to the F13 through to F19 keys.
    Also I'd like to remove/disable the brightness controls from F1 & F2 (can't think why they thought of placing them there?)
    How would I do this?

    Also I'd like to remove/disable the brightness controls from F1 & F2
    After you install the keyboard software
    <http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/keyboardsoftwareupdate12.html>
    go to the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab of "Keyboard & Mouse" system preference, scroll down to "Display" (near the bottom), and uncheck it.

  • Setting up new keyboard with function keys

    Hi,
    I just attached an older mac USB keyboard (from the G3 era) to my MacBook. It works fine, but I want to know how I can setup my function keys to change the volume, display brightness, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    I still don't know how to program in volume and brightness keys, but it doesn't look like anyone else does so I'll mark this as answered.

  • New Apple Keyboard and Insert Key

    I'm using the new Apple Keyboard (http://www.apple.com/keyboard/) and I'm quite happy with it. The only big disadvantage is the missing Insert-Key, the Apple Keyboard has a function (fn) Key, where the insert-key is normally located. I need the insert-key especially for selecting in midnight commander. What would be the best way to remap the insert-key to the fn-key for console and X-Windows?

    Here are some relevant other threads:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56619
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55482
    These are just threads I've participated in; I'm sure there are more. The bottom line is: check with showkey (in the Linux console) or xev (in X) to see how the fn key is getting recognized. If it's working just like another key on the keyboard, e.g., like space or shift, then you can remap it the same way you'd remap any key. (The process is different for Linux console than for X.) But most likely it's not working just like another key on the keyboard, in which case it will be difficult/impossible to remap it to insert. However, you could always choose another key, or key combination, to remap to insert. Perhaps even a key combination of the form fn+KEY. The kernel won't recognize fn as a modifier like shift or control, but it should recognize SOME fn+KEY combinations as being SOME keyboard keys. For example, on my keyboard fn+left arrow is recognized as Home. I think that as far as the kernel and all the key-remapping tools can tell, I only pressed Home on my keyboard not any combination including left arrow.

  • Remap Function keys on MBP to use in 3270 emulator?

    I use a 3270 emulator for work which relies on the use of the Function Keys for navigation. Keys F1 - F24 are used frequently and while I can create "clickable" versions of the keys, it's not as efficient as having them on the keyboard.
    Is there a way to remap the MBP keys to use as function keys F1-F24?

    I haven't used this myself, but I've seen it recommended fairly often. See whether it meets your need:

  • New Mac Keyboard Shortcuts

    Hi,
    I've just bought one of the new 'Leopard' style aluminium Mac keyboards for my G5, however my favourite function, hide all windows (F11) doesn't work.
    Where has it gone? Is it now a preference setup item?

    It's also probably set to use the keys as the "special keys" for whatever picture's on them rather than as normal function keys. There's a setting in the Keyboard system preference to flip this behavior so they act as normal function keys unless you press the Fn key.

  • Strange Keyboard Behaviour: Function Keys F1-F10 not accessable

    I noticed couple a days ago that function Keys F1-F10 not accessable, neither with nor without fn.
    Nothing special has been made lately on PowerBook, some days ago tested Universal Access.
    What could keep F1-F10 disabled?
    BTW F11 and F12 are fully functional

    I'm noticing a possibly related conflict: I use Universal Access Sticky Keys all the time (they are just handy). But I noticed after a few days working with my new intel MacBook that when I had sticky keys on the keyboard would be mapped weird: The qwerty keys would be correct up to the num lock keys, and they would be numbers. So they are like this:
    qwerty456*[]
    asdfgh123-'
    zxcvbn0,.+
    After several days of removing preference panes and startup items with no success, I just started digging around in all the preferences I could think of that would effect the keyboard. I disabled the "use the f1-f12 keys" option and the keyboard behaved normally.
    So, if you engage sticky keys AND have "Use the F1-F12 keys . . ." engaged you get this odd behavior.
    However, I still have the function of the F-keys.
    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • Remapping function keys the way users need them to

    Expose was a feature that I used seamlessly when going between apps on a MacBook. Ever since I got a MacBook Pro it's been frustrating using Expose and Spaces ever since.
    1. I never did use the hot corners. Way too many inadvertent calls, especially if you use all three. Plus, using the function keys are a lot faster.
    2. OK, so we finally don't need to use two hands for right-clicking, but why do we now need it for Expose and Spaces? When going between apps, my finger drifted easily and rapidly to F8, F9 and F10, but now I have to use two hands? This is especially annoying when you're just in review mode and using only one hand, on the phone, lounging, etc.
    3. I know I can reverse the function keys, but I'd like to control volume and screen display with one hand as well.
    Feature request: Rather than have a universal one-check-box switch between function keys and special features printed on the keys, I would absolutely be a lot more efficient and quicker in my workflow if I was simple allowed to choose whether I wanted each individual function key to be the special feature or a standard function. In other words, I'd like to use one hand to control volume, screen display, Spaces, and Expose. The backlit display and desktop viewer switch features are seldom if ever used for me - kind of a waste of efficiency.
    DoubleCommand, previously suggested, doesn't do this. Does anything?

    Thank you, I already did, but that's not the point of this post. The feature request is a small part of the message to explain what I'm looking for, either as a script or third party app or something I'm overlooking, or if I am indeed completely out of luck and that my only option was to have submitted a feature request.

  • Coffee in BRAND NEW mac keyboard

    Hi all..
    I nearly touched my coffee glass, but it happend..
    Is there anything i can do within the first couple of mounth?
    I need a new keyboard, the other one is totaly destroyed, when i type a it makes q and stuff like that..
    Im crying, cus its my boyfriends brand new imac 27" inch..1 week old ;(
    please help me

    Something you can try. It often works with USB keyboards.
    There are two issues - the presence of liquid, which shorts out circuits; and the presence of acid in the liquid, which can etch copper inside the keyboard. There can also be sticky residues from sweetened drinks, which can make keys stick or work only sometimes.
    If you wish to try this -
    First, assuming it is a wireless keyboard, turn it off and remove the batteries. Then fill a sink or small plastic tub of adequate size with warm (not hot) distilled water - like the kind you can get at supermarkets for steam irons. Do not add any soad or detergent. Immerse the keyboard in the water, slosh it around a bit. Then remove it, drain the water, refill with more warm diistilled water, and repeat as a rinse.
    Then hang the keyboard up by one corner and let it thoroughly dry - this may take a few days. You can use a fan to help aid the drying, but do not use heat, such as a blow dryer or even direct sunlight for long periods.
    You may need to use a Q-tip or paper towel to get the battery compartment thoroughly dry.
    Plain water will not harm the insides of the keyboard, provided no power is running through the keyboard. Using distilled water helps prevent any trace materila being left behind, such as lime from hard water.

  • Vista - New Slim Keyboard. What key to do use to boot vista

    I have tried option/alt and I have also pressed c a boot up. What do I have to do to get my mac to let me switch HD's on setup since its not option/alt or c any longer?

    X = OS X
    Set the default to Vista until you find if it is a keyboard related issue or something else. I think some people are pointing at the newer keyboards as likely culprit.
    Both systems show in startup disk control on both sides, right? so you can use that for now.
