Swapping keys

In Windows 7, I want to swap the control key for the command key, so it's the same in both OSs. I don't have an issue adapting, I just like the command key since it's slightly larger. I've tried SharpKeys, but that's not working, because it'll just turn the control key into the windows key and leave the command key as the windows key as well, leaving me without any Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc. Any help? Thanks guys!

New wired keyboard, swapped key functionality?

hi -
I just replaced my keyboard for my iMac Intel Core Duo 10.6.8, 2GHz with the standard wired one. The aluminum keyboard is v 0.74, Apple made. The orignal died.
I used a Dell board for a bit, and used Sys Prefs > Keyboard to swap the OPT & CMD keys. Now I have a new wired Apple keyboard, and the system won't recognize it as an Apple board, and the OPT / CMD keys will not return to heir original roles.
I did these things:
1) sys prefs: reset default for keyboard command keys
2) sys prefs: swapped OPT & CMD key functions, didn't respond.
3) repaired disk permissions
I don't know what to toss as preferences that will influence the keyboard.
Any suggestions, please?
thanks.

thanks, but it didn't change anything.
I've also tried restarting after removing the system preference .plist as well as the keyboard layout .plist. Neither of these worked.
I tried swapping out the keyboard and mouse with a friend's and that did not change anything.
I've updated all OS software and repaired all permissions using Disk Utility.
Perhaps something is creating a conflict, but I haven't a clue as to what at this point.

S205 - Swap or Change FN and CTRL Key?

Hello,
I've heared that it's possible to swap these keys in the BIOS. But so far I haven't found any settings for it there.
You got any solution for this?
Thanks a lot!

lenovo won't publish bios update for swapping keys.
pm to middleton if he can publish the modified bios.

[SOLVED] Remapping keys using udev hwdb doesn't work on rightAlt

hi, I had posted this topic in the [ newbie corner ] subforum for days, but got no repliy. I hope I can find luck here.
I'm trying to use udev hwdb for swapping pairs of keys ( esc, caps_lock ) and ( rightAlt , rightCtrl ) . I followed the instruction here Map Scancodes to Keycodes with procedures describe blow. I only succeed in exchanging pair (esc, caps_lock) but failed in (rightAlt, rightCtrl).
Details of Procedures:
Create an empty file under /usr/lib64/udev/hwdb.d with file name 90-custom-keys.hwdb . Add the following lines into this file.
keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDell*:pn*
KEYBOARD_KEY_01=capslock
KEYBOARD_KEY_3a=esc
KEYBOARD_KEY_e038=rightctrl
KEYBOARD_KEY_e01d=rightalt
Rebuilding hwdb.bin
udevadm hwdb --update
Testing and reboot my system
udevadm --debug test /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
udevadm --debug test-builtin keyboard /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
Parts of the testing result of the last command looks like
device 0x1ce3890 has devpath '/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0'
device 0x1ce3890 filled with db file data

unload module index
Thie last 6 lines seems to be complaining the problem, saying that 0xe038 and 0xe01d are invalid scancodes.
But they are scancodes of rightAlt and rightCtrl respectively, which I got from
showkey -s
After rebooting the system with the above settings, esc works as caps_lock and caps_lock works as esc but rightAlt and rightCtrl has no changes.

Thanks plam and Raynman for your help . Follow your hints, I succeed the swapping key task in an alternative method.
Using the command 'setkeycodes' and adding these commands into a systemd controlled service script, keymaps are exchanged as gdm started.
Here is my script and steps for doing this.
Created a file with filename custom-keys.service under /etc/systemd/system. Add the following context to the file.
[Unit]
Description=Keymap Custom
Requires=gdm.service
After=gdm.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 1 58
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 3a 1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e01d 100
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e038 97
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target
Enable the script so setkeycodes commands will automatically executed when gdm starts
systemctl enable custom-keys
The next time you reboot your system, key changes will take effect. To test if your config works, try
systemctl start custom-keys

Keyboard keys different between models?

I replaced the top case on a black Macbook 2.16 Core 2 Duo model, as the keyboard and trackpad were not being recognized and were not working. I had a white top case from a broken Macbook 2.0 Core 2 Duo which works okay. Finally a working keyboard and trackpad!
I gave this Macbook to my wife, who wants to use a non-English keyboard layout. I've swapped keys on lots of different Apple portables, so it's something I'm familiar with.
The problem, though, is that I've found that they keys on 3 different Macbook keyboards snap on in a different way than on the keyboard that is now installed on my wife's Macbook.
Specifically, there are 2 small hooks on the back of the keys that hook onto the scissor mechanism under the keys. On the 3 different Macbook keyboards, these 2 small hooks are on the LEFT side of the keys (as you look at the keyboard), whereas on the keyboard on my wife's Macbook, the 2 small hooks are at the TOP of the keys.
In order to install the keys on the keyboard, I have to place them SIDEWAYS. Which makes using the keyboard a bit strange, to say the least.
Any idea when Apple started changing how the keys are installed on the keyboards on Macbooks?

Is there a shortcut to switch F keys from default utilities to traditional function keys?

So as most of us certainly know, latter-day OS X default has the F-keys programmed to handy shortcuts like volume and screen controls, dashboard toggle, etc. There are a few programs I use that require switching to the more traditional function key format, and I was trying to figure out if there was a way to streamline that process so I didn't have to go into System Preferences/Keyboard then check or uncheck the appropriate button every single time. If there isn't, I would submit to Apple that it would probably be easy and definitely awesome if they could program a fn-lock function (like hitting option-⌘-fn or someting like that) to swap key configurations. But maybe there's a way to do that already? Or a way to script a macro or something?
Granted, going into system preferences to check that one checkbox isn't hard, it's just a pain to have to constantly do and undo.
Thanks!

The following script should do what you are asking for:
tell application "System Preferences"
    reveal anchor "keyboardTab" of pane id "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window "Keyboard"
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
Using FastScripts (free for 10 keyboard shortcuts), you could even assing a shortcut to the above script.

Option and command are swapped

I was trying to modify the function of an external USB keyboard to change the (Windows) Ctrl key into the Mac "Command" key... and failed. I've given up on that for the moment.
However, now the Command and Option keys on my built-in keyboard (the one actually ON the laptop) are permanently swapped! I was able to go into the Keyboard system preference page and swap the functions (so now it says Command is Option and vice versa) but Commmand really is Command and Option really is Option. I can only guess that a preference file got munged somewhere. ("Restore defaults" does not fix the situation.)
Is there a file I can edit or trash or something?

Hi,
yes indeed, swapped keys can be a nasty thing for daily use...
2 things:
1) System-Prefs -> keybd&mouse -> click "Keybd", then "modifier Keys", and try to reset them to your personal preferences. Does it work?
if not, try this:
2) quit System-Preferences. Then localize the file "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" which is in "your-user-name -> Library -> Preferences" and move it to the Desktop. Start System Prefs and adjust the keybd settings.
Does it work? There will be a new file in the Preferences-folder, and you can trash the old file "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" which is on the Desktop.
Please post back.

Hiding different characteristic columns for 2 separate key figures - Part 1

Hi,
I am defining an input ready query for Integrated Planning. The aggregation level and layout in BEx Query Designer are as follows:
Company Code - Column
Business Area - Column
Chart of Accounts - Column (Hidden)
G/L Account - Column (with Hierarchy display based on FSV enabled)
Fiscal Year Variant - Column (Hidden)
Fiscal Year - Column (Hidden)
Fiscal Year / Period - Row
Budget (Custom Key Figure like 0BALANCE) - Row
LV Budget (Custom Key Figure like 0BALANCE) - Row
The output is as follows (for three months, without hierarchy display for ease of understanding):
                                         LV Budget                      Budget
CCode Bus Area G/L Account FY/Period Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010   Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010
ABC    1100      1022514                 1000.00   1500.00   2000.00    1200.00   1600.00   2200.00
ABC    1100      1022515                 1100.00   1600.00   2100.00    1300.00   1700.00   2300.00
So far so good. The KF are input ready and I am able to save values. The problem is that the business requirement is for a different number of columns to be displayed for LV Budget and Budget, i.e. LV budget is only maintained for, say the first 2 months and budget is maintained for 3 months. Ideally the output should be 2 columns (Jan and Feb 2010) for LV Budget and 3 columns for Budget (Jan - Mar 2010). Currently, I am getting 3 columns each for LV Budget and Budget (Jan - Mar 2010).
I have tried removing Fiscal Year / Period from the drilldown (across) and creating a structure with five selections, 2 for LV Budget and 3 for Budget with the appropriate selections accordingly:
Key Figure = LV Budget, Fiscal Year Variant = K4, FY / Period = 001.2010 - 002.2010
Key Figure = Budget, Fiscal Year Variant = K4, FY / Period = 001.2010 - 003.2010
The issue is that the query is no longer input ready if FY / Period is removed as a drilldown across. I have tried adding it to the new structure but it gives rise to three columns for each selection, two of them blank (the ones for other FY / Periods than the one specified in the selection), for example:
LV Budget   Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010   Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010
            1000.00                               1500.00

Hi,
Just try swapping Key figures with Fiscal/Year period in your basic structure (the very first one)
I hope it will help.
Thanks,

[E440] Fn / Ctrl swap problem.

I set Fn / Ctrl swap in BIOS.
It seemed to work well.
But Ctrl (actually Fn key) + S doesn't work in notepad, ms word, excel, powerpoint ant etc.
I can't save any files.
I think this is a critical bug.
Please check this out.

The E540 has the same problem... And it's not a problem only in office type of work. It's a problem in the games...
Try crouching and pres back walk key (CTRL+S)... well the game locks... because it emulates SysRQ... So you can't do a proper office work and you can't play games...
For office type of work only, you can get used to the swapped keys, but sometimes you have to chill out with a game, and then the real pain begins...
The topic is discussed here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Thinkpad-E540-Bios-update-2-09-Ctrl-and-Fn-swap-...
For now you have to downgrade to 2.09 and stick with it. And pray to Lenovo, to push an update, who will fix this.
The integrated shortcust must be there, but they have to be swapped with the ctrl/FN key swapping. Or they should leave an option to disable them.

Error: There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise

I am trying to use Crystal Reports Enterprise XI 4.0 with BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 using a Bex Query on an SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SPS 9 BW system. I have been using the SAP Press book u201CIntegrating SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.x with SAP NetWeaveru201D as my guide, attempting to follow it step by step. Please bear with me as I have only started working with this set of products within the last month. (Very new at this and do not have a very good grounding of the way it all works together. Trying to learn as quickly as possible as I am expected to support this set of tools for our developers / users.)
I have been trying to follow along with the book to get everything connected. At this point, I have BOE set up to attach to the SAP NetWeaver BW system. I have created a test Bex Query on the BW system. From within BOE, using CMC, I can configure the Bex Query as an OLAP connection. I have set it up for SSO. I have also exchanged certificates between the BOE and the SAP NetWeaver systems which I believe will allow the exchange of tokens.
I then go into Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0 on my PC. (I am running Windows 7 64-bit on the PC. I installed the BOE 4.0 suite of client tools except for SAP BO Live Office and SAP BO Analysis for MS Office). I can attach to my BOE system and can browse to see the OLAP connections in the BOE. I then try to select one as the data source for a new report. I then get a pop-up window stating:
   Unable to Logon
     There was a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
       Please check your logon credentials and make sure your network is properly configured before trying again. If the problem
       persists please contact your Administrator.
I cannot find a log / trace / error file on my PC, the BOE system or the BW system to indicate any additional information as to what the root problem is. Has anyone seen a similar error and might know where I can find more information, how to increase trace levels so that I get some additional information or provide hints as to what the root problem might be?
I am also trying to figure out how the authentication works between the PC, BOE and SAP NetWeaver. If using a token, there has to be consistency with the username (or some value) and I am not certain that is happening. Right now, my BOE sources its UME from the SAP NetWeaver BW system. So its user accounts are in the form SID123/ACCOUNT where SID is the SID of the SAP NetWeaver system and the string u201C123u201D is the client on that SID. When I log into the BOE system from within Crystal Reports, I am using the account in that format whereas the account on the SAP NetWeaver BW system in actuality is only the string ACCOUNT. So is the token stripping the string u201CSID123/u201D from the account name when it is sent so that the accounts match? Or do I have to manually configure some kind of account alias (in the BOE system?) so that the two recognize each other? Or something else?
Any hints or ideas around where I can find additional information or where I have gone wrong, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you in advance,
Deb Nugent.

Henry,
Many thanks and excellent suggestions. But I am still not able to get this to work and (once again) am stuck.
RE: Server Connections: When I check my server connection, I have not ticked SSL and am using the non-secure server port for my BOE system. When I click on u201CTest connectionu201D, I can successfully log in using my username / password on the SAP NetWeaver BW system. If I tick the SSL box without changing the port, I get the error message u201CFailed to establish a connection. The cause was u201CCannot connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise at this time. Please try again later.u201D If I tick the SSL box and change the port to use the secure server port for the BOE system, I get the same error.
RE: Preferences: I am using the default settings under Preferences -> Network Settings. We do not manually configure proxy settings on our network so I have ticked u201CUse system proxy configurationu201D and under SSL settings, have ticked u201CUse system keystore / trust storeu201D. I have swapped keys between the BOE system and the SAP NetWeaver system but I have not swapped any keys between my PC and the BOE system or the SAP NetWeaver system (which I do not expect to do but am mentioning here in case I am wrong).
RE: BILaunchPad: I do not have any references for BILaunchPad. Is this u201CWeb Intelligence Rich Clientu201D? If so, I tried starting it, it reported an error: u201CAn error occurred at session creation.u201D Details showed u201CSSL mode is being requested but the following argument(s) are not present: passphrase (FWM 01012)u201D I went into the CMC and checked my SAP connections under Authentications. On the tab u201COptionsu201D, there is the section u201CSAP SSO Serviceu201D where I typed in the KeyStore password. When I created the key store file, I only specified a keystore password and did not specify a private key. Originally, I had it set with the private key blank with the correct password on the keystore. I also tried entering the same password as the private keystore and saving it. I verified that the connection services for Web Intelligence had restarted but I still am getting that same message when I try to start the Web Intelligence Rich Client.
At OS level on the BOE server, I logged in as my boe1 account and checked the parameters that can be entered for the PKCS12Tool.jar file that I used to create the ketstore file I had used. There does not appear to be an option for anything other than the keystore password. There is no private key password field listed.
I searched for the FWM 01012 error and found the HTML and PDF help files form SAP explaining errors. However, it only states u201CEnsure that all SSL arguments are presentu201D but gives no details as to what, exactly needs to be checked.
I will be talking with co-workers today to see if any of them can make sense of this (anoterh set of eyes sometimes helps). Any other suggestions about areas to look for addiitonal details / increased traces / logs?

You can make a descending sorting for your key figure using the condition TopPercent (Top%) and take the value 100. To sort ascending, use the BottomPercent (Bottom%) condition on your key figure.
Then 100 % of the values of your key figure will be shown in a descending sorting by default in your query (without using a view).
I used the feature in the newest BEx Query Designer (7.x) and it works fine, I don't know if it's available in the older version (3.x).
Please assign points.

Unable to switch between tuners on HD DVR. The `Last' button doesn't do it.

FiOs was installed yesterday and I was disappointed to learn that the remote won't swap tuners, allowing me to watch a program on one tuner and then watch another on the second tuner. Spent time on the phone with the tech reps, but they didn't seem to understand the problem. They thought the `Last' button served the purposed. It doesn't. I switched from Comcast, which offered that feature. The Comcast remote has a 'Last' button and a 'Swap' button. The 'Swap' button is missing from the Verizon/Philips remote. Here's the difference: If I'm watching Channels 10 and 20 with either service, the 'Last' button switches between those channels. The tuner doesn't change. The 'Swap' function on the Comcast remote switches the DVR to Tuner 2, where I can select other channels. If I'm watching Channel 10 on Tuner 1 and then press the `Swap' key, the television doesn't switch to Channel 20 as it would with the `Last' key, It switches to whatever channel I'm watching on Tuner 2. An easy way to test this is to press the rewind key. As I'm watching Tuner 1, whatever is playing on Tuner 2 is buffered for 5 or 10 minutes or longer. When I switch on the Comcast service, I can rewind and see what I missed on either tuner. The `Last' key doesn't do this on either service. The Verizon sales people assured me this feature was available with FiOs. It's not so far. Hoping there will be a software upgrade. The `Swap' key is wonderful.

missingtivo and oldsarge, dont feel bad about it not working. it doesnt work for a lot of people. According to the Verizon info that was originally posted on the web site, it said that the Verizon DVR's did not have two live buffers. Now the new info on the page says nothing about it one way or the other. Hence all the confusion between those of us that say they cannot switch buffers and those that say you can. The problem is that there is no way to tell which DVR's can and which cannot, and Verizon has said that it is NOT a feature and it is NOT supported. That having been said, many like Justin get it to work just fine. Since it works for them, it is assumed that it will work for everyone. Unfortunately, this is not true. While a lot of people do have this work for them, there are many of us that it does not work at all and it is not something that Verizon considers as an issue. When I asked for mine to be replaced because it does not work, I was told that it is not an advertised feature and not one guaranteed to work, therefore their "official" word on the subject is that the dual live tuners is not a feature on the Verizon service. If it works for you...Great more power to you. If it doesn't... OH WELL, its not a feature anyway. I've tried both the 7216 and the 6416, and my neighbors 6416 and it does not work on any of them.
For those that may be reading this after our long discussion on the other thread, an update. Since we were unable to get mine to work. Even following the directions provided by everyone here on the board that said it worked perfectly. I contacted Verizon Tech support and was informed about the "not a supported option" that I posted above. That is why I said it in the way that I did. This was the "official" word from the tech support supervisor. And my buddy that works at Verizon Tech support says that they have been told to tell customers that the "dual live tuners" is not a feature of Verizon. That's why you have so much problems finding someone when you call for help on this issue. Just FYI
However, the new Cisco stb's that are supposed to be out sometime around the first of the year are supposedly to have many of these features that we want out of Verizon now. We will just have to wait and see.
