Remap command-c to ctrl-c

I have been searching around for a way to remap copy/paste from command-c to ctrl-c while in Leopard. Hitting command-c is just too awkward on the Macbook Pro keyboard and it would be easier to remember which keys to press when copying and pasting between Leopard and XP [parallels].
Is there a simple way to remap copy/paste/cut to the ctrl key that I'm missing?
TIA

I use Input Remapper with my MacBook Pro.
It has many other uses, like keyboard backlighting and fan control too.

Is there a way to remap Command-B so it changes the character style to my Emphasis style?

I'm building a custom template where Helvetica Neue Light is the primary body text font, but going from Helvetica Neue Light to Helvetica Neue Bold is far too large a contrast for my tastes. So in this template, I set the Emphasis character style to Helvetica Neue Medium.
I've already mapped that style to F7, but it's a pain in the butt having to hit Fn-F7 whenever I want to make text bold, rather than just using Command-B as I've been used to doing for 20+ years now. I'd like to be able to press Command-B and have my Helvetica Neue Light text turn into Helvetica Neue Medium.
Is there a way to remap Command-B so that it changes the character style on my text to Emphasis, rather than using the Bold option on the font itself? (I wasn't able to set Command-B to change character styles through the Keyboard options in OS X Preferences, since individual character styles aren't in Pages' dropdown menus.)
Or, alternatively, is there a way to change the preferences for that specific font—either in that specific template, in Pages, or systemwide—so that when Helvetica Neue Light is in use, making the text boldface uses the medium-weight version of the font rather than the heavier bold version?

No, Cmd + B is for Bold. Doen't that work for you? It doesn give the same result on my computer.

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?

Remap command and option key?

Hi there!
Does any of you know a way to remap the right command key to option key?
I've tried using fkeys and ucontrol, but they cannot handle it, any ideas?
Thanks
Adam Mscisz

When the question is simply "is there software that does X?", your best bet for an answer is VersionTracker.
In this case, the simple search (in the Macintosh section) for "Keyboard" produces, near the top, this hit:
• http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12106
• uControl - 1.4.6
remaps any modifier keys, virtual scroll wheel & more
• http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/
There are more, of course.

Resurrect: Can I use the Key Board Shortcuts to use Commands like "Save"(Ctrl+S), "Refresh"(F5) etc?

Many months ago Simon Jones asked if it was possible to capture screen level key events and redirect them to perform functions in our screens. There was some discussion about having to get into the detail Silverlight events and a statement of the high
level of difficulty. I would like to resurrect the question and see if anyone in the community has developed a solution to this that could be applied to all screens in a solution.

Cliff

Sqlplus prompt and ctrl c command

Hi,
I am running into one situation in which i tried to login to one of our database(testdb) running on 10.2.0.5 from remote host using sqlplus(11R2 version) command and tried Ctrl+C right after login. It disconnected my session with following message. Is this a bug? It doesn't happen with other oracle version. Any idea what's happening here?
testdb SQL> --- Press Ctrl C here---
testdb SQL> select * from tab;

Recovery mode without command or windows keys

Hello,
I am a mac newbie, but experienced linux and windows user. I am trying to restore my mac mini (mid 2011) running mavericks. The process should normally be very simple; press command-R keys while booting to start recovery mode and go from there.
Unfortunately my keyboard is a palm-sized keyboard without command or windows keys. So I am stuck. I have 2 windows laptops that I can use to remote login but I cannot do remote login during boot.
I tried mapping the Command key to Ctrl key inside OS X, but it seems like this only works after reboot.
I tried to use recovery disk assistant as it requires "Option" key, but the assistant does not allow me select the HD, as I guess I do not have a recovery system on the HD.
I tried doing network install, but it requires the install CD, which I don't have.
Can you help me get out of this situation? I have an ipad and two iphones if it helps.
Thanks!

I tried to use recovery disk assistant as it requires "Option" key, but the assistant does not allow me select the HD, as I guess I do not have a recovery system on the HD.
If you mean holding down the OPTION (alt) key during restart, that takes you to the Startup Manager. AFAIK, there's no recovery disk assistant app in OS X. If you can't do that, then get an Apple keyboard. Without a recovery HD, you'll have to reinstall the OS.

Why doesn't Firefox close tabs when I use the command-w shortcut keys?

Every so often, on random sites, I would have 2 or three tabs open. I would command-w (on a Mac) to close the front most tab, and it would close. Bringing the next tab to the front. But when I hit command-w again, I get the warning sound on my Mac, and the tab does not want to close. Even though Firefox is at the most front of applications, and the tab I'm trying to close is at the front of Firefox browser window. I have to click on the page (even though it's already at the front), for command-w to work and close the tab. I've reset Firefox to default twice already. I've even deleted it, and reinstalled it.

One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

Color Range command in Photoshop CS6 13.0.4 no longer works after update

I just updated to 13.0.4 at the end of last week. Today I went to use the Color Range command and it will not select any colors. The Eyedropper tool works fine. Adjusting the fuzziness and other options doesn't make a difference. Nor does selecting multiple instances of a color to add to the selection. Since I use this command regularly, I feel confident that it is a bug with the update and I would love to hear of any possible fixes. Or, is it possible to downgrade back to 13.0.3? I didn't realize how much I used this and it's a major inconvenience.

I feel confident that it is a bug with the update and I would love to hear of any possible fixes.
Some people, when encountering unexpected behaviour in Photoshop, seem overly prone to use the term »bug«.
Have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels and Dialogs visible?

Could not complete the export command because the file could not be found

When I try to save for web, Photoshop pops up a dialog box that says "could not complete the export command because the file could not be found".
What is the solution for this?

Please provide more information (Photoshop version, OS, target volume, …).
Does the file’s or one of the folders’ name contain problematic letters (slash etc.)?

Enable Copy, and Paste commands in the Mozilla rich text editor for macbook

There are instructions for creating a user.js file, unfortunately they are not helpful to me.
I was able to pull up my "Profile Directory" and moved on to accessing my " .default" but have no idea what to do after that.
My questions remain:
How do I create a user.js folder on a macbook?
Where do I pull up java script from?
Do I create a "smart folder" inside of my default folder?

Support for CAPS to allow web pages access to the clipboard via user.js via <b>capability.policy</b> prefs has been removed in Firefox 29, so this is no longer possible.

CTRL + ALT doesn't resize my brush anymore !!!! :'(

Hi everyone !
I'm using OSX 10.8.2 and Photoshop CS6, with an intuos 4, and 10 minutes ago the function CTRL+ALT+left or right on my intuos was visually changing the size of my brush, and now, when I use the same combination, it just drags my photoshop window and move it from left to right...!
I can't remember changing anything in the options of my intuos or Photoshop, and make the settings back to defaults doesn't change my problem.
If you have any answer, clue, tip, or anything helpfull, I'd be sooooooo glad !!
thanks !!

[SOLVED] Ctrl+Alt+S and Ctrl+Alt+O Blocked by ?

Hi!
On a new arch+gnome system, I cannot bind any command to the Ctrl+Alt+O and Ctrl+Alt+S shortcuts in pycharm.
Going through all the shortcuts in gnomes' Keyboard > Shortcuts and via dconf-editor, I cannot find any program that binds to these shortcuts.
Any advice?
Last edited by nonZero (2015-05-19 07:10:58)

When using xbindkeys -k , I get this for ctrl+alt+s or ctrl+alt+o:
"(Scheme function)"
m:0xc + c:64
Control+Alt + Alt_L
Which is very strange, because it does work correctly for other shortcuts, for example, ctrl+alt+a:
"(Scheme function)"
m:0xc + c:38
Control+Alt + a

Is it possible in InDesign to repeat previous command?

I am eager to know is there a way to repeat the previous command in your ID file using keyboard shortcuts?
For example in Word you can use F4 to do this.

As far as I know there is no equivalent to MS Office's Redo Last Action command (I use Ctrl-Y) in Indesign. I asked a year or two ago and learnt a lot about setting up keyboard shortcuts for styles and using Transform again and so on, but no universal Redo.
Have a look at EasyHistory ($9.99) which might help. Their free multiple-undo plug-in works perfectly and I use it all the time.
