OS X Question

[valia...@gmail.com]

Hello,
Before I buy this - I was just wondering what button OS X users will be
using as the apple key? If you go to
http://www.spymac.com/upload/news/2005/09/27/m3261_Apple%20keyboard.jpg
you can see what the setup of the keyboard is. This key is essential
because in OS X, copy is apple-c, paste is apple-v, quit application is
apple-q, hide is apple-h, etc.

Thanks!

Woops sorry - should have looked at the manual before posting.

In OS X, the Windows key -> Apple (command) key
Alt key -> option (alt) key

I just might have to buy one, even if it is just to satisfy curiosity.
I type around 120 WPM on a standard qwerty keyboard and am a developer
so I don't know how much I can do with this thing but it would be fun
to play with. Maybe I'll use it when I hook my laptop up to my HDTV so
I don't have to hold the laptop or an external keyboard.

I use my AG-5 on a Mac as well, and it works great. One thing I highly
recommend is downloading a System Preference called MouseZoom
(http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/mousezoom.html). It allows you to punch
up your mouse speed far beyond that of the normal Mouse Preference.

On a related note, while I wait for my AG-5 to arrive, has anyone
found a way to do keyboard remapping in OSX, similar to autohotkey for
Windows?

Use that program and save your keylayout into ~/Library/Keyboard
Layouts (or /Library/Keyboard Layouts which will make it available to
all users). Then, go into System Preferences->International->Input Menu
and add check your layout. I have several checked (such as Bulgarian
and English) and the international menu enabled so I can just click a
little icon next to the volume at the top to change languages. Not sure
how to change the default but I bet the Ukelete user manual says.
