Hi all, Today I substituted the keyboard I was given for the Mac with a USB
standard Windows keyboard.  I was asked to press certain keys on the
keyboard and the Mac politely recognized the Windows keyboard.  It assigned
the Command key to the Windows key, (the key right of the control key on the
left).  Because of some hand problems I am having, I would like the
VoiceOver keys to be close together like they are on the Mac without the
Command key being in the middle.  On the right side of the keyboard, it did
not assign the Applications key to anything, so I can only use the VoiceOver
modifier keys on the left.  So, here is the question.

Is there any way to remap these keys on the Mac?

Thanks for your help.  By the way, I like this keyboard because it is more
like a desktop keyboard with stair steps between the rows of keys rather
than being flat like a laptop keyboard.  I just make more mistakes on the
flat keyboard.  I can certainly live with what I have, but first, I wanted
to make sure I had to.

Neal
