Keyboard help
Hey,
I have a laptop with ideneb 1.6 installed, my problem is I have a Windows keyboard! I'm really frusturated by trying to understand all those keyboard shortcuts
My questions are:
- What key is "^" on a windows keyboard, What is the thing that looks like " '\_" more or less... and so on...?
Is there any way to change them?
- In windows there is the very useful run command, doesn't something similiar exists on Mac??
Thanks ahead!(:

Hi,
It's really simple actually.
Here are a few steps to follow:
Oper System Preferences -> Keyboard

Open Modifier Key:

Then in Modifier Keys you will have to have these:

Now, on MY keyboard I used them like this:
(I bring on bold "MY" keyboard because as you know
keyboards differ from region to region. :p
So, by default the shortcut keys are like this:
"A" -> "Ctrl" Win Key
"B" -> "Windows Logo" Win Key
"C" -> "Alt" Win Key
The "C" key, the Command key is like "Ctrl" in windows OS
I talk about the usage of the key of course.
Knowing these, it was pretty easy until i switched them in between
so I could use them more efficiently just like I used to use them in
Windows OS.
So what I did, in stead of the default order A,B,C; i which them
to C,B,A and it is very handy. Well it's working for me at least.
Hope this answered to your problem. Cheers!
