10-17-2008, 07:44 PM
I made a new keyboard layout to fix some issues I had with the Mini's keyboard. Problems this fixes: • Command+Tab (switching between apps) and Command+` (switching between windows) don' work well without a `/~ key • Menu key to the right of the Space Bar is useless How it fixes them: • Remaps `/~ to Esc key, so app and window switching work normally • Remaps Enter to the Menu key. I want to make this into a Command key, but this goes beyond just editing a keyboard layout file. I will probably have to compile a custom version of DoubleCommand to accomplish this. Issues: • Command+Esc still activates Front Row (Not Command+Fn+Q) • Command+Opt+Esc does not work, so I can't use force quit • Caps Lock messes up my remapping, this is an easy fix that I haven't gotten to yet, mostly because I am going to try to remap Esc to Caps Lock anyway. How to install: • Drop mini.keylayout in /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ • Open International pane in System Preferences • Open Input Menu tab • Check box next to "Mini" layout • Check box next to "Show input menu in menu bar" • Logout and back in (not required, but this seemed to get rid of a few bugs for me) Please try this out and give me feedback (or help me fix the bugs). Are there any other problems with the default layout? I can also make different language versions if there is a need. |

what did you use to create this? I've got a uk version and some keys just don't work, and other's have incorrect mappings. |

I modified US layout to make a UK style, It actually follow each key's position on keyboard. Have fun! Lenovo X61 B54-7673 2GB 120GB T7500 Dell mini 9 1GB Runcore 32GB Nokia E71 |
