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:
My keyboard is:
Thank you.

  • 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.
    D'
    PS. It really shouldn't be this hard to delete email using one hand....

  • Replacement for the comma key?

    I'm currently using a Microsoft USB keyboard connected to my Macbook when at my desk that had a whole glass of water spilled on it. I dried it all out, and it is all working aside from the comma key.
    Is there any way that I can bind another key to work as the comma key? (for example the "~" key which I never use)

    It's easy to make a custom keyboard layout with the comma key moved somewhere else using Ukelele:

  • Help! Where could I remap the volume keys

    Hello Community
    I uh.. request aid to find a way to change the volume key.
    I tried going to System Preferences>Keyboard then to Shortcuts
    I check every shortcut change that I can find like the Launch pad, Display, Mission Control,...Services,Spotlight,...shortcut settings. But none has an option to remap the volume keys in the mac. I need this information ASAP
    Thanks

    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.

  • Cant hold down the comma key to insert an apostrophe anymore.

    After updating to IOS6, I can no longer hold down the comma key to insert an apostrophe. Same with the period key---it won't insert quotes. Have to change my keyboard view. In both cases, holding down the key still shows corresponding character, but will not insert the character. What's up with that?

    Hiya! I just read that you hold the comma down and when you see the little apostrophe pop up above slide your finger upwards towards it and your apostrophe is typed! Hope this helps :)

  • 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.

    Hi,
    >I am using a wireless standard keyboard so maybe the emac doesn't regognise it
    Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.

  • How do you remap the Fn key on windows for gaming?

    As many of you know on the macbook pro the bottom row of keys is in this order: [fn][control][alt][command] instead of the more logical [control][fn][alt][command]. This can be a huge problem in gaming which requires the use of the control key. Most remapping programs I have tried (in Windows 7) do not recognise the fn key neither do the games themselves when you try to change the keyboard setup. Is there any solution to this problem? You will be helping mac gamers everywhere!

    According to this: [[Keyboard shortcuts]], it is not possible.

  • Can I remap the fn key on a Powerbook?

    Extraordinarily, Apple designed the keyboard layout for laptops so that the function key (fn) is on the opposite side of the keyboard to the cursor keys. So if you want to use Home, End, PageUp, or PageDown, as most of us do, then you have to use two hands as the fn key - far left - is too far from the cursor keys - far right.
    Is there a way to remap the keyboard to swap the Enter and fn keys around? I rarely use Enter, but use fn a lot as described above.
    While on this subject, can I remap to get a forward delete, which I used more than backspace on a full size keyboard?

    I've posted this question AFTER finding out the answer, but I'd love for other users with the same problem to know that there is a solution.
    This donateware will allow some keyboard remapping - http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ - although I couldn't swap the Enter and fn keys, I could convert the Enter key to work as the fn key but only when used with the cursor keys (which is actually a better solution anyway).
    It also allowed me to convert the backslash key to work as a forward delete.

  • How do you remap the F1 key to paste your email address into a textbox on a website?

    I would like to know if FIREFOX allows keys to be remapped. I want to be able to make the F1 key paste my email address into a textbox on a website to make it easier to type stuff. I have seen other programs that allow you to "remap" the keyboard and I wanted to know if FIREFOX allows this or not?

  • Remapping the ctrl key

    hi,
    i am using LogMeIn Free for Mac to be able to remotely connect to my Mac from the outside world (typically from a PC). as i am starting to dabble in xcode, i have come across a problem: this utility doesnt seem to map the Control key. in the preferences of the app, you can choose to remap the Alt and Cmd keys to a Windows alternative, but nothing for Ctrl.
    in xcode, i need to Control-click objects in order to link them. so the question is if its possible to add an additional keyboard shortcut on the Mac, to something the LogMeIn client will be able to handle?
    alternatively, is it possible to programmatically create these "bindings"? all text that i am following so far uses the far simpler Ctrl-click method.
    regards
    jingo_man

    Thanks for your reply Peter. I restored defaults, and restarted twice, but still nothing. Both keys work on an external keyboard, so I think that it's a mechanical fault. I'll send it back next week when this job has finished- let's hope that it's not part fo a faulty batch.

  • Can I remap the EJECT key as say Shift+Eject?

    I keep hitting my eject button when I type fast. Is there anyway I can remap the key as something other than just pushing the EJECT key?
    I looked in Keyboard etc in Prefs, but nothing.

    I can't even get mine to work, even though the process is running. I really don't see the problem in just opening up my computer and right clicking on the dvd drive and selecting eject.
    You can kill the eject key process permanently by hitting start > run > type in msconfig > click on the startup tab > find the AppleEjectCD.exe and stop it > reboot and you're good to go.

  • I've remapped the Function key to show desktop, can't undo.

    As the title says, I remapped this key to the show desktop feature. Now when I want to use the function keys I have to use them blind as the windows disappear when I try to use it!
    I've reset all keyboard shortcuts in Keyboard. I've made sure that "show desktop" under mission control is not set to function either.
    Any ideas?
