IвЂ™ve also set the right Alt key to be End and the right Windows key to be Home. So what that means is that IвЂ™ve swapped the positions of the left Alt key and the left Windows key.

YouвЂ™ll first need to install AutoHotKey.

If youвЂ™re interested, here it is: AutoHotKey script for Apple Keyboard. I had to use a script that was generously given to the community, and modify it to suit my needs. With AutoHotKey, I just run a script that remaps the keys that I want, and whenever IвЂ™m outside with just my notebook, I disable the script and IвЂ™m back to my default key settings. I chose this solution over SharpKeys (another key re-mapping utility) primarily because AutoHotKey allows for вЂњprofilesвЂќ, which is useful because sometimes I use my notebook alone without my external keyboard, and I want the default key mappings to be restored. WhatвЂ™s important though, is that it allows you to remap keys as well. ItвЂ™s a free, open-source utility for Windows that enables you to create scripts for automating keystrokes and mouse clicks. So I went about looking for a solution, and found it in the form of AutoHotKey. In addition, the keyboard has the left Alt key and the left Windows key completely opposite from my notebook (a Lenovo Thinkpad T410s). That sucks, because you canвЂ™t even delete a file in Explorer with the keyboard this way.

I love it though, and I think itвЂ™s the best bluetooth keyboard around вЂ“ the problem is, while most keys generally work fine, certain keys are missing.ДЇor instance, on the Apple keyboard, the command key is the Windows key by default, so thatвЂ™s convenient. I use the Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard, but I use it with my Windows computer, not a Mac.
