Title: Any Mac users ever use a vintage 101-key keyboard on their Macs?
Post by: macguy80 on Mon, 04 May 2020, 21:06:48

If so, does anyone know if there is a way (via software) to perform keyboard shortcuts that use the Option key (since there's no Win key to stand in for it?)

I have briefly, and prefer to map caps lock to ctrl and ctrl to option.

I mostly use AEKs and standard winky included layout boards though.

Thank you, mode! I can't believe I forgot that Caps Lock was one of the keys that can be reassigned. That gives me a lot of freedom to explore switches that aren't available in "modern" layouts.  :)
