Remap a key on keyboard?

I'm doing a bunch of data entry and would like to have a tab key on the right side of my keyboard. For example, I'd like to re-map the "F19" to to be a tab key.
Is this possible?

I'll let you sort these out if there's an answer in them.

Remapping character keys (not shortcuts)

Hey everyone,
I´ve got a US keyboard on my Macbook that I would like to use with a german key layout. I actually already physically switched a few keys around and am looking at buying my umlauts (ÜÄÖ) on ebay. Now as I don´t want to replace almost all keys I was wondering:
Is there a way to remap character keys under OSX Lion?
I´m not talking about shortcuts as this can be done in system preferences, I mean actual character key remapping.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
V

Is there some reason why just switching to the German layout provide with OS X does not work? You do this by going to system prefs/language & text/input sources and checking the box for German, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, and then choose German in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
If the layout provided by Apple is not exactly right, I can suggest another one you can install.
If you really need to create a custom layout, then the tool is

Remapping modifier keys and others via XML .keylayout file

I have a video editing keyboard that requires some keys to be remapped to work correctly on my mac. Specifically I need to remap the modifier keys on the keyboard. The first thing I need to do is remap key 50 to be command instead of ~. I am trying to do this via a custom XML .keylayout file. I have read the documentation on .keylayout files and can't make sense of what it says to do. Also, I've tried many of the keymapping tools that people have recommended and they don't work for remapping modifier keys.
Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi cstrouse,
I think you should try the link below and use Ukelele; it does exactly what you need with a gorgeous graphic UI.
I would'nt mess with XML...

Macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226). I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work) - HELP!!

My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow).
In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work.
I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
Here is the kicker! In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
thanks and regards

I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

Sound keys on keyboard no longer control sound. What should I do to fix this?

Sound keys on keyboard no longer control sound. What should I do to fix this?

Hey Bill,
Check to see if the option for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." is turned off. When it is turned on, you would need to hold the Fn key while hitting one of those keys will make it work they way icons are displayed. To find out where this option is, go to System Preferences > Keyboard and in the Keyboard tab is where you want to be. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How to remap individual keys in Windows 7

Hi all
Received my new W510 yesterday and still discovering

if it doesn't work, bios editing will remap the key ( but editing bios will void the warranty.also, you need to have enough knowledge about bios editing. )

Is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

The ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard is a Bluetooth keyboard that the manufacturer states is "compatible with most IOS devices" but does not list Apple TV specifically, though the the different IPADS that are compatible are listed.
I did contact the manufacturer through an online Sales Associate Chat on their website and ironically they could not answer me. They did take my email and stated they will research and get back to me. That was only yesterday, 10/7/13 so I will give it a few days.
I know there are other keyboards available, so maybe I will just research a little more.

How to use a function key on keyboard for executing a non SAP program

1. Create a ".exe" file for the .NET application.

Help with the Korg nano key usb keyboard!

I recently bought the Kord Nano Key usb keyboard for the purpose of triggering drum sounds and sounds from the library. Will this keyboard do this?
I have very limited time with which to read manuals and experiment. Could anyone just tell me how to get going with this keyboard. I have installed the driver and can see that some sort of signal is getting into logic.
If it is possible, can you get me up and running quickly?
Thanks

I'm assuming the Akai came with a manual, I know Logic did, you're going to have to do a little of the work yourself, your question is so vauge that no one knows what you're tried, or if you've even tried anything at all! This is professional software... you HAVE to read manuals... have you used Garageband? Have you plugged the Akai in, have you looked in Logic's online help systen to see how to load a software instrument?
Or job is not to hold your hand, this is a user forum, there are people here that will help but you need to to some work on your own.

HP Pavilion 500-009cb Volume Key (on keyboard)

What's up with the HP service on this bulletin??
I see all other posts being replied almost right away, but mine just keeps being ignored.
I can assure you this is not pleasant experience.
HP Pavilion 500-009cb Volume Key (on keyboard) Problem
‎08-28-2013 09:21 PM
It has been only 2weeks since I got the desktop.
The volume keys with speaker pictures stopped working, not to mention the mute key.
As well, the crescent moon sign beside the volume keys is not working as well.
Fn keys, for example, search button, work fine.
I believe I did two updates, because the system told me to do so when I turned off the computer.

Hello ellesense,
Please take a look at this document, which provides troubleshooting steps that I hope, helps to resolve your no-sound issue.
Let me know how it goes.
Also, your desktop should still be in warranty if it is only a few weeks old. You can call in and speak to a live rep.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin Here.
Good luck!
