Help with Apple Wireless keyboard

gcaster · 3 Jun 2011 at 23:46

Mate of mine's just bought a Wireless Apple keyboard for use with Windows 7. However, we're struggling a bit trying to map some of the buttons to useful functions. In particular he wants the eject button in the top right to be forward delete. Can anyone offer any advice on either how to do this or where to look for instructions?
Cheers

I've done this a couple of times when keys stop working on cheap laptops. What you need is a registry hack for the keys AKA a keymapper. I'm not sure what freeware I used last time I did this but a quick google returns this...

Yeah the problem is the eject key doesn't seem to show as a keypress, even in keymappers (and we've tried a few!).

it may be worth trying autohotkey

Autohotkey is a good shout, its really quite powerful. But if a keymapper does register the stroke then can it be done?

little app I wrote to show key ghosting on keyboards. Maybe the key ID will show up. Can modify to return the actual key code.
