Sorry, just downloaded it (been a while since I used it) doesn't seem to let you map the ctrl and alt keys

There was another peice of software I used, but I forget the name, I'll keep searching though.

This definately does it, I just tried:

EDIT:

And now I'm changing back as it is already doing my fruit in

What does the AltGr key normally do anyway? It seems totally useless as far as I know...

paradigm · 2 Jun 2008 at 15:07

Its [CTRL]+[ALT], it also allows access to accented chars (áéíúó) and the € symbol [ALT GR]+[4].

It's also used with Virtual PC for various functions, including releasing mouse focus back to the host OS.

bring back Shift lock

Ahh, I remember it being used in VirtualBox, but the bit about the extra chars is news to me. Cheers.

right Ctrl is used in virtualbox

Ahh, I know the magic button was around there somewhere, it's been a while since I've used it...

AltGr = Alternate graphic

just for anyone else who didn't realise what it meant.
