Hi Tim, My Delete key was broken and I wanted to assign the function to End key and use it for Delete function. Following your tutorial, perhaps wrongly, the reverse has happened. That is, the Delete has now the End function. Could you please tell me how to revert to original mapping?

Hi, my FN key recently broke and I’m trying to rebind it to another key. Unfortunately I have no idea what the key-code name is in Sharpkeys… it is currently between the left control key and the windows key… I wish there was a map that allowed me to see the code names of those keys.
Tim says
I will check and give you a hint.

I am a visual impaired mac user whos trying to go over to PC. I was just wondering if this method of changig keyboard layout can be used so i can work my PC as “if it was a mc” meaning is there anyway that i could just change the Pc layout into mac layout? so fex i get my “command” instead of control” f.ex. i could press command (would probably be placed where the alt key is now) + c for copy, instead of cotntrol + c ? and i could use the ordinary standard f11 and f12 for volume up and down and and f2 and f3 for display brightness etc. …. Do you have any knowledge of this?
