I'm currently using an Apple compact keyboard at work on a laptop running Windows Vista. At home and on my previous jobs I always used Linux computers where it is dead simple to configure that you are using an Apple keyboard and all the special keys works as expected. On Windows I have not been able to locate any such mappings in the keyboard configuration.
The bindings I am missing the most are:
- Cmd+Right => End
- Cmd+Left => Home
- Cmd+Up => PgUp
- Cmd+Down => PgDn
I have tried using a Windows application I found called MacroMaker but it does not appear to work and I couldn't find an offical website to ask for support. Apart from MacroMaker I also gave SharpKeys a go but I don't think it supports combining multiple keypresses into one result.
My preferred solution would of course be to find a keyboard mapping that plugs directly into Windows' native input stack.
Answer
Take a look at Autohotkey it allows you to map pretty much anything to anything, and allows chords if you want as well as multiple sequential key presses.
