Remap Command and Option Keys on Mac OS X with PC Keyboard

keyboardkeymapmacmacos

in my keyboard the command key is mapped to the windows key (I'm using a regular PC keyboard) so I only have a left command, because the space on the right is occupied by the useless Fn key.

I've used Ukelele and also edited keyboard mappings but that's for printable characters, doesn't actually allow you to map modifier keys on the keyboard.

Thanks!

The answer was as easy as this:

  • Click the Apple logo in the top left of your screen
  • Select "System Preferences"
  • Select "Keyboard"
  • Make sure the "Keyboard" "tab" is selected
  • Select the "Modifier Keys..." button in the bottom right of the window
  • Select keyboard: "USB Keyboard" (probably - if you're like me, you're trying to configure a keyboard that's plugged in to your laptop)
  • Switch the "Option" and "Command" values
