Windows – MacBook Pro Keyboard – How to Swap / Remap Keys

keyboardmacbookosx-snow-leopardremappingwindows 7

I know this may be asked before in a different manner, but I still haven't really seen a solid answer. I'm hoping that providing these 2 specific needs will make it more clear.

I specifically want 2 behaviors that will make my transition from a long time PC user to being able to use a MacBook Pro.

Background:

  • I am a windows user that just got my first mac ever (in my life) this past weekend.
  • I am dual booting the MBP with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 x64

What I want to do (in both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard):

  • Swap the fn and control keys (not physically)
  • Be able to tap the eject key for a forward delete, but keep the ability of holding down the eject key to actually eject the disc.

Are these possible, if so what is the best way (software?) of accomplishing this in both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard?

Best Answer

On OS X: DoubleCommand

On Windows: SharpKeys

For anything more extensive, you'll want AutoHotkey (Windows) or IronAHK (AutoHotkey rewrite that works with Mono for cross-platform compatibility - Linux, Mac, etc).
