I have a Logitech Windows keyboard and I want to use it on my. The problem is that many buttons are mapped to the wrong places.

The default keyboard shortcut to begin dictating is to press your Mac’s fn key twice. If you aren’t using an Apple keyboard with an f* key, make note of or choose a different shortcut key. Usually this is because you're using a different keyboard map to the keys on the keyboard, i.e. A US-purchased Mac being used with a British English keyboard. Press alt-3 to get the other symbol above the number 3.

For example, when I press Right Alt + 2 I get the ™ symbol and not a @ symbol. The problem also exists when I'm running and log on a Windows XP machine. Smc fan control bad for mac. I have Swedish regional settings (input method) on Mac OS X. • Is it possible to remap the keyboard so that on a remote Windows XP machine all keys on the keyboard really work? • Can I disable all Mac OS X shortcuts when I'm in an RDP window? I have a standard Logitech Windows USB keyboard.

It seems to be a layout problem. When I install the Logitech keyboard layout I can choose it, but it just shifts back to the default layout after a while. You might have a look at, a free Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor: Ukelele is a Unicode Keyboard Layout Editor for Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later. Version 2.0 and later are only for Mac OS X versions 10.4 and later.

Beginning with version 10.2 (Jaguar), Mac OS X supports an XML-based format for keyboard layouts (.keylayout files). These may be installed by copying them to the Keyboard Layouts folder within /Library or ~/Library; then they are enabled via the Input tab of the International (Language & Text in 10.6) module within System Preferences. However, modifying keyboard layouts—let alone creating entirely new keyboard layouts, such as for a new script—by directly editing the XML text is tedious and error-prone. Ukelele aims to simplify keyboard layout editing by providing a graphical interface to.keylayout files, where the desired characters can simply be dragged onto keys as needed.

(The Character Palette or Character Viewer, available in the Input menu if it has been enabled in System Preferences, is a great place to find the characters.) In addition to simple assignment of single character codes to keys, Ukelele can assign multiple-character strings and can create 'dead keys', where a keystroke sets a new state that modifies the output of the following keystroke. For more information about Mac OS X keyboard layouts, as well as existing layouts available for download, see. For some types of layout, particularly with large numbers of dead-key sequences, creating a layout with the text-based tool may be a useful alternative. System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources includes many PC layouts, and there are also premade PC layouts for languages like. You can use to create your own keylayout: • Select File > New From Current Input Source. • Change the keys.

• Save as bundle to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/. Keyboard layouts in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ can't be selected in password dialogs or the login window, and the popovers shown when holding keys don't work with normal.keylayout files. • Log out and back in and enable the input source in System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources. To apply changes to a keylayout, you have to for example run sudo touch /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ and log out and back in.
