Hi all,

I just got myself a new non-apple keyboard and mouse set for my new MBP. Every time i plug it in, I have to change the "windows key" and "alt" key to "alt option" and "command" key, so that it reflects what a real apple keyboard is like. The problem is I have to change it every single time i plug it in, which tend to a little troublesome.

So I would like to seek help from you guys, how can I change those keys without hassle. Is there an app for this? Or can I change it permanently such that when I plug in my keyboard, it changes automatically into the mac format?

Hm, it does this automatically for my wireless keyboard. Did it once, and it stays that way if I plug in and out the receiver.

Do you have Snow Leopard? What type of keyboard are you using.
 
Oh yeah it does work!

Maybe i plugged into a different USB port.. oh well, i dunno man.

Thanks btw.
