Hi, I have a MacBook Air which I "dock" on my desk with an external monitor and an old Apple Pro Keyboard (the one with white keys and clear plastic bottom). Looks exactly like this except has the US layout:

The keyboard works fine for the most part except the volume keys don't work and the function buttons only work as actual F# keys instead of Mission Control, Launchpad, and other media buttons. If possible, I would also like to remap the eject button to power on the computer.

System Preference seems to only let me remap shortcuts globally, so I don't see a way of doing this exclusively for the external keyboard while leaving the built-in keyboard alone. I think I'll need a recommendation for a 3rd party software that will do this. Thanks.
