10.3: Swap caps lock and control key positions
Authored by: sapporo on Nov 08, '03 10:11:23AM

I think I found the sources to the modified driver in ADBControlFix.pkg/Contents/Resources/AppleADBKeyBoard.tar.gz, but I couldn't find the diff to the original sources. So, if I wanted to create these myself, were would I download the original sources. Anyone have an URL at hand?

Thanks,

10.3: Swap caps lock and control key positions
Authored by: snark on Nov 08, '03 04:35:15PM

Go to http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ (free registration as an apple developer required before actual source access). He seems to have used the 10.2.8 sources as a base - but applying the diff to the 10.3 sources should work as well.

And while you are at it: you can modify the 10.3 sources to get real F-keys without the Fn-mess: edit AppleADBKeyboard.cpp Funktion setFKeyMode and insert a new line 233 that says

    mode = (mode ? 0 : 1) ;
This reverts the Fn-Key logic for F-Keys, and even survives sleeping or working with UniversalAccess... (but patching driver sources is nothing for the faint at heart - do it at your own risk!)
