Hey all,
My dog spilled beer on my Macbook keyboard several months ago. The computer works fine, but the number keys are busted - one through nine - I currently use Keyboard Viewer to type my numbers, but it's a pain...
I've had some success with remapping keys using Ukelele, but ultimately the solution was not as elegant as I wanted - didn't work in Google Chrome, for example.
Then I realized - the Function keys, while very valuable, would be much MORE valuable to me as number keys - I also need them for 'at', 'number sign,' etc.
I whipped up a new keyboard layout in Ukelele that accomplished just this, but my System functions still dominated. I then clicked that button under system prefs that turned them back into normal function keys, but now I just get the 'bongo' noise...
Any suggestions? Is it impossible to overwrite the function keys just using a new keyboard layout?
I'm fairly competent, could run a few lines of code in Terminal, etc., however I can't handle complicated editing in a .plist file or something like that. Looking for a simple, elegant solution.
Thanks!
