10.5: FunctionFlip - Toggle laptop's function key behavior
Authored by: palahala on Sep 15, '08 06:41:39PM
Nice!

As a side note: I'd like to map the lower-right Enter key (on old MacBook keyboards) to Fn -- which is nice on laptops, especially to get forward-Delete (fn-Delete).

http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ seemed to help me out, but like the feature list actually states "Enter key acts as an fn key (partial support, cursor keys only)" it does not support fn-Delete.

http://www.kodachi.com/software/fKeys/ is next on my list to try. However, uninstalling DoubleCommand needs me to reboot first -- one day ;-)

10.5: FunctionFlip - Toggle laptop's function key behavior

Ok, I didn't try fKeys, but am happily using http://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ now. KeyRemap4MacBook can also map Enter to Ctrl for easy Spaces access -- hmmm, too many choices ;-)

Odd: the settings are done using checkboxes instead of radiobuttons :-) More important: one might not like the icon always sitting in the menu bar.

I guess my next little quest is to map Cmd-Delete to forward delete (that needs some other application I think), and then use KeyRemap4MacBook to map Enter to Ctrl for easy Spaces usage.
