Easily remap and create customized keyboard layouts
Authored by: jdos2 on Jul 08, '05 10:06:42AM

I've been experimenting with several remapping utilities, but I'm still left with the problem that I originally tried to fix:

I've an IBM "Selectronic" type keyboard that's been with me since the early OS/2 (PS/2!) days. It's got great feedback, and works well with a USB-PS/2 adapter. I'd like to be able to use it on the Mac, but of course, it doesn't have the pretzel ("Option") meta-key.
Is there a fairly simple way of mapping the RIGHT control or alt key to act as the "option" key? I can't seem to get the modifier keys remapped, and is my current stumbling point.
Otherwise, I have to have two keyboards attached to my Mac, and that's a bit... Cumbersome.

Where did you get an adapter that enables you to plug a PS/2 cable in a usb port?????????

Also, what does PS/2 mean??
