Hey guys, I have been testing out autohotkeys on my PC to tryout the layout that is on the HHKB. (credits to ripster's script)
But after getting slightly used to it on my PC for general usage over the weekends, I'm back on my mac for my web development and I cant seem to find something that is of a similar nature as AHK that is updated. IronAHK for example, all their links on the AHK forums are gone and Keymapformac doesn't seem to do enough ( I don't think its set out to do the same at all but I could be wrong)
Does anyone have any recommendations or any thoughts on this? Or I'm just stuck with buying the hhkb for my mac?
Thanks in advance (:

Keyremap4macbook allows you to do lots of remapping with the private.xml file. Not sure what you're after.

Eh, haven't seen that anywhere after installing it. i'll go re-read the files mmm. Thanks!

If it's just for remapping, then there are already some stuff that can be configured easily in the OS X preferences if I'm not mistaken (like changing alt/apple to meta or whatever) and then if you want to do more complicated remappings, you could try "Ukelele".
Another GH'er here suggested Ukelele and indeed: I've used Ukelele to add polish characters on my girlfriend's AZERTY MacBook.
Depending on what you need to do, this may be sufficient. Now that said AHK does much, much more than simply remap keys...

It lives in ~/Library/Application Support/KeyRemap4MacBook/
You can access it through the Misc & Uninstall option in the Preferences for the app. There some documentation on the app's website for how to format the entries in that file.
