Make zero the Reject key again in Aperture 1.5 Apps
Aperture 1.1 used the zero key to reject images. This was very convenient because it was next to the right arrow key. Aperture 1.5 changes the Reject key to 9 -- not convenient at all -- and makes 0 the Unrated key. This hint swaps 0 and 9 on the keypad so that zero is once again the Reject key.
  1. Quit Aperture
  2. Open the application package (control-click and Show Package Contents)
  3. Find the KeycodeMapping.strings files. There is one in each of the language folders in the Resources folder. The easiest way to find these is to type keycode into the Finder's search box.
  4. Open the KeycodeMapping.strings file that corresponds to the language you are using with a text editor such as TextEdit or TextWrangler. On the second line, swap the location of the numbers 25 and 29. The file will now look like this:
      from      = "82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92";
      to        = "25, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 22, 26, 28, 29";
  5. Save the file, close the Finder search window, and launch Aperture to test.

There is an error in this hint as posted 2006-10-19. The two lines old and new given are not the old and new versions of the text. I have emailed Rob to fix this. The hint is correct if you follow the link to the full article.

The safest way is to install Menu Master 1.4.1 — a small haxie from http://www.unsanity.com/news/ which allows you to modify any shortcut in almost any application. The modification does not alter the application and can be undone at any time

But these are simple key presses, not Command key presses, and they do not appear in menus as the bare key. Will the Unsanity product still work?
