#REMAP MAC KEYBOARD TO MATCH A PC INSTALL#

In any case, it does not work as desired because X-11 produces an activation message each time I click in an Inkscape window! (OK, so the real answer is to tell the Inkscape guys to make a native macOS application, but that's asking for the Moon). Perhaps there is a command-line setting to do it (I did not find one).

It allows you to remap specific keys or change then entire keyboard layout, as described here. I would not want to hang that applescript from a macro. One solution is Karabiner (prior to version 9.3.0, Karabiner was called KeyRemap4MacBook). In the 'Keyboard Manager' settings, click 'Remap a Key.' When the 'Remap Keyboard' window pops up, click the plus button ('+') to add a new key mapping.

While that does work, it is horribly slow, it activates the System Preferences, needs delays to work properly, and is just a kluge. After you install it, launch PowerToys Settings, then click 'Keyboard Manager' in the sidebar.

So far I use SharpKeys to remap the ALT/CTRL and backtick keys that I use often for programming. It would be great to have an official confirmation.

I could also do it by AppleScript: - Toggle between CTRL and COMMAND for the command key on my second keyboard No, I think the firmware of the keyboard is flashed differently than regular MX so this feature is not available. Obviously I could do this by going to the system preferences and switching, but that is a nuisance. They do not ever use the command key, but they do use the control key ctrl. I have a few applications like Inkscape that were originally developed for Linux or Windows.
