Re-map volume keys?
Nice playing with keyboard layouts, but I am still searching for a means to map my function keys to volume up/down/mute.
Re-map volume keys?
Don't know if you re-mapped your volume keys yet (the post was from a while ago), but I just found an application to do the same thing...Keyboard Maestro (http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/).
I used it since I control both a PC and my PowerMac G4 through a KVM switch. The KVM switch doesn't recognize the volume keys on the Apple keyboard. So, I used Keyboard Maestro Lite (the free version) to send a "volume down" command when I hit Ctrl-F9. "Volume up" is Ctrl-F10, and so on. Effectively, Ctrl-F9 through Ctrl-F12 are now my Volume up/down/mute, plus the CD eject key. Works quite well. Then you just check the box that tells Keyboard Maestro to start as a daemon process when the system boots. Very easy solution. It's not a keyboard re-map in the classic sense. It's more like defining macro's. But it works quite well. Oh...the volume control functions in Keyboard Maestro are under "Perform System Action"...not under iTunes or anything like that. Hope this helps! |
