PUT THIS FILE IN ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict | |
This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more closely | |
match default behavior on Windows systems. This particular mapping assumes | |
that you have also switched the Control and Command keys already. | |
This key mapping is more appropriate after switching Ctrl for Command in this menu: | |
Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard->Modifier Keys...-> | |
Change Control Key to Command | |
Change Command key to Control | |
This applies to OS X 10.5 and possibly other versions. | |
Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax. | |
Key Modifiers | |
^ : Ctrl | |
$ : Shift | |
~ : Option (Alt) | |
@ : Command (Apple) | |
# : Numeric Keypad | |
Non-Printable Key Codes | |
Up Arrow: \UF700 Backspace: \U0008 F1: \UF704 | |
Down Arrow: \UF701 Tab: \U0009 F2: \UF705 | |
Left Arrow: \UF702 Escape: \U001B F3: \UF706 | |
Right Arrow: \UF703 Enter: \U000A ... | |
Insert: \UF727 Page Up: \UF72C | |
Delete: \UF728 Page Down: \UF72D | |
Home: \UF729 Print Screen: \UF72E | |
End: \UF72B Scroll Lock: \UF72F | |
Break: \UF732 Pause: \UF730 | |
SysReq: \UF731 Menu: \UF735 | |
Help: \UF746 | |
NOTE: typically the Windows 'Insert' key is mapped to what Macs call 'Help'. | |
Regular Mac keyboards don't even have the Insert key, but provide 'Fn' instead, | |
which is completely different. | |
