Hello,
So my new MacBook Pro should be arriving tomorrow, and I intend to install windows via bootcamp onto it. My primary concern is how to remap a key to be used as insert. The right command key, acting as an unnecessary windows key, seems to be the best bet. However, I've et to find anything which looks promising/accessible with regards key mapping. Anyone have a suggestion on how I might remap the aforementioned key to insert?
Hi,
Thanks for the utility. At this point however, I am not sure exactly what I am doing with it. I go to add, and see a rather large list of keys, but not the one I want to switch, in particular, the right windows key. In addition I see no insert key in that list. I suspect it is simply an operator error, and that I'm just missing something. So, long story short--how would I go about what I am doing?
No, actually, probably not. Insert is certainly listed, but I'm not sure about right Windows. In Fusion itself, you can say which Windows key is passed through, but then you'd lose the use of both keys.
I'm not in Windows at the moment, but when I'm next in there, I'll have a poke around and see how to do that, if possible. Right now, I use Fusion itself to map Command+J to Insert, and then use Insert Key mode, but this is not NVDA-compatible. So when I have time, I'll install .net and run SharpKeys to see what your options are. Sorry about that.
Insert and the other keys are under a category called special.
Just look around the area in the key list that says special.
Hi,
Today, I took another stab at sharp keys, and pretty much got everything mapped out the way I wanted. There is a rather odd issue, however. I did some more remapping to the bottom row of keys, one part of which was turning the right alt key into the right control key. JFW and most of windows seems to take it correctly, but I loaded Pipe 2 and tried to hammer with both control keys, and found that it simply was not accepting the right control key. Any thoughts on this?
Hi.
Wow, that was a rather odd issue. It sounds like Pipe 2 looks up the keyboard from other places than the registry, which might be the reason for this issue. Sharp keys writes the remaps in the registry, but I don't know if there are other tools out there.
If you're happy with single-key combinations, of course you can just use Fusion itself; it supports holding keys down too. However that only works for single keys; you can't use it for key combinations AFAICT.
I personally dislike the way you have to press insert, as I myself use Bootcamp, and despite my will to be on the Mac, somehow I end up using Windows more often than I should, even though I now have two computers in total. At least I learnt to use an Ad Hoc computer to computer network to sync files that are changed across both systems.
You can just map an insert key, and then it works like all insert keys works.
