I use a PC keyboard to go with my MacBook at home, which is fine until I need to use a keyboard shortcut that starts with Command. Then I sometimes get pretty confused figuring out just where the Command key is.
In Leopard, I can set different Modifier Keys for different keyboards, so I remap ALT to Command and WIN to Option on my PC keyboard. Here's how:
- Plug in a external keyboard to your Mac
- Go to System Preferences and open the Keyboard & Mouse pane
- Click Modifier Keys under the Keyboard tab
- Select External Keyboard, and change the modifier keys
