Remap your fn key?

I was wondering if it would be possible to remap my fn key to control for gaming.

Keyboard shortcuts allows you to map a +menu item+ to a keystroke (not including a modifier key by itself). Although the other modifier keys can be remapped (to allow for using Windows keyboards) the Function key can't. There may be third-party programs which can do this.

Left shift key remapped into alt key

Hi Everybody
The left shift key of my Macbook air started to work exactly like the alt key, like it was remapped.
(the alt key works normally)
The solution of the problem might be simple but I couldn't find any way to change the behaviour in Maverick.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Remapping the Fn key in Windows * a solution *

Howdy,
If you own a Mac and you're running Windows via Boot Camp, it's likely that you've noticed that there are problems with the operation of the Fn key. Because the keyboard doesn't have a Delete key, it's extremely annoying that you can't use Fn+Backspace in order to get the Delete function.
As discussed in this thread it's possible to remap normal keys on your keyboard with a remapping tool like AutoHotKey. Unfortunately this application doesn't recognize the Fn key by default, so you're still stuck with other key combinations like Command+Backspace = Delete.
I don't use Boot Camp on my MacBook, but I do have a PC with Windows XP. I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard, which is basically identical to my MacBook keyboard. Using it in Windows is no problem, but the Fn and Eject key both don't work. So I suppose the problem is the same for users of Windows through Boot Camp.
First I used AutoHotKey to remap Command+Backspace to Delete. But I couldn't get over the fact that there were two keys that I couldn't use. So I kept looking for a solution, and finally found one. Using a DLL file for adding support for Human Interface Devices, written by one of the AHK forum members, I was able to get a response back from my Fn and Eject key. I wrote a script that let's you alter the behavior of the Fn key, so it will act as a modifier.
At this point my Fn key is fully functional, and I mapped all the basic OS X functions so they can be used in Windows. So whether I'm using Leopard on my MacBook or Windows on my PC, everything is the same. This means:
Fn+Backspace = Delete
Fn+F10 = Mute/Unmute
Fn+F11 = Volume Down
Fn+F12 = Volume Up
Eject key ejects my drive (without or with a delay just as in OS X)
And so forth.
Because the Fn key question is a common problem for a lot of people, I decided to write a full guide explaining every step of the way in full detail. The guide can be found right here:
Mystery of the Fn key - A guide to remapping the Fn key in Windows
The DLL used to retrieve information from the Fn and Eject key has already been used for many other purposes, and made it possible to map a lot of different keys on many different keyboards and other devices like mice and remote controls. By doing so it has proven its worth, and I'm sure that you'll be able to get your Fn key and other special keys working just fine. Whether it's on your Mac using Boot Camp, on a PC with using a keyboard with special hotkeys or on a PC notebook. The guide is based on remapping my Apple Wireless Keyboard, so at least I'm sure that it'll work for Apple keyboards.
Feedback on my guide and script and whether you succeeded remapping your Fn and Eject key is much appreciated.
Good luck!

Well I tried but none of the settings recognized Fn nor Eject on my MBP (penryn w/ OSX and Vista). I even ran through dozens of possible Usage/Page combinations. My other keys were recognized and so what my mouse/trackpad. But not Fn and Eject.
As you state in the write-up "If your key isn't recognized by one of the devices and their settings as listed in the application, it's unfortunately not likely that you'll get your key to work."
Thanks anyway. I really thought I found the answer in this thread...
oh well.

I get an error:"Unable to sync. Your sync key has changed" But I simply type in the old key and it starts woring again

When Firefox starts I get an error : Sync encountered an error. An unknown error has occurred. when I go to sync preferences it says your sync key has changed. When in the update key dialog I simply type the old key it accepts it ans again starts syncing as if nothing had happened.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Remaping the comma-key to be a dot-key (Apple Keyboard)

Hi there,
I am working on an Apple Keyboard and need to remap the comma-key to be a dot-key. Do you know how to do it?
Thank you.

Thanks all of you for reply. I have attached an image clearing up everything.
My Apple Keyboard is in Spanish. It means the comma-key which is found in the numeric keyboard is being used for separating groups of three digits (e.g. two millions: 2,000,000) rather than for the decimmal point, as should be according to my configuration for numbers.
My configuration for numbers is:

Is it possible to update QT 7 to higher version? I ran the update once and all the Pro features were disabled with the message: Your Reg Key is for QT Version 7 only, I had to reinstal Win after updating, because the new QT kept the reg with no pro func

Is it possible to update QT 7 to higher version? I ran the update once and all the Pro features were disabled with the message: Your Reg Key is for QT Version 7 only. I uninstalled the new QT version, and reinstalled the old QT 7 but the Pro functions were still unavailable, so , I had to reinstal Windows to get my Pro functions back. This happened quite a while ago, but every time I get the "Update" message, I am afraid to launch it.

All I can say is that the problem you experienced is not by design but was instead some sort of technical fault, either in QuickTime or in Windows. I've upgraded QuickTime for Windows a number of times, to various new versions of QuickTime 7, and it's never removed my Pro key. My guess, and this is strictly a guess, is that something corrupted the preference file where the Pro key is held, disabling the Pro features and not allowing you to re-enter your key. Since you reinstalled Windows, I would expect that future updates to QuickTime will go without problem, and if for some reason the Pro features are ever removed, re-entering your Pro key should get them back.
Regards.

Consider looking at something like Karabiner (formally know as KeyRemap4MacBook)
<https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/>
Also consider BetterTouchTool
<http://www.boastr.net/>
which has key remapping and may other touchpad/magic mouse features.

Remap number pad key?

Hello from France.
I use an external Apple wireless keyboard with a French layout and I want to remap one single key on the right-side number pad. Is this possible?

Hi,
for activation of number keys you usually have to press the so-called 'clear'-key.
It's the one directly above the '7'-key of the number pad.
And you usually have to do that only once, as Windows 'remembers' that setting.
In Windows it's called the 'NumLock'-key.
Regards
Stefan

How do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

how do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

I am assuming you have the key number, but not the actual software. Like you I have the key number (my key number good for 3 Macs), but didn't want to dig out the disc to install on another Mac. Going to Office's site I couldn't find any links to download Office, so I had to get the disc to load the program. Once that's done the Office installer will ask for your key number.

"Your license key is invalid or has expired" error (Purchased License)

Hello -
We have just installed CR Server XI R2 and have purchased a valid license. The installation accepted the license key during the install and also allowed me to register this license key at the end of the install and sent me my registration number. After finish the install and following the installation guides - all of the services come up in Central Configuration Manager - but when clicking the Enable/Disable Servers icon and trying to enable 1 or all of the servers there (final step in the install guide) I get the following:
Your license key is invalid or has expired. If you received a temporary license key by purchasin another BusinessObjects product, you must register BusinessObjectsEnterprise to receive your permanent license key.
Again, this is not a temp license, but a full Crystal Reports Server XI R2 5 Cal keycode, purchased through CDW.
When we were awaiting the full license to come, we attempted to install and run the trial version of CR Server XI R2 and continually received this same error with that install. I have removed the package completely and re-installed multiple times but each time get this same error at the final step.
Any help would be great, we've tried reaching out to the Customer Email Support for BO and phone number since Monday and finally yesterday we were told we had to come to this forum to get assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Jeremy,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
