Remap right option key

[maclaw21]

Is there a way that I can remap the right option key on my bluetooth keyboard (Logitech ergo) to serve as command? I realize that there is a right command key, but in Citrix the right command key is used as the Windows key (I know, eye roll).

Thanks.

I don't know of a way without a third-party solution running in the background such as:

You can remap key commands in Citrix Receiver. have you tried that? https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/recei...ove-user-experience.html#windows-special-keys

That documentation is for version 12.9. I am using 20.10. In any case, my preferences don't allow remapping to the extent that I need.

Here's how to do it without Karabiner-Elements if you like. Run this in the command line whenever you login, or get a script that runs it for you at startup.

hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping":[{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x7000000E6,"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst":0x7000000E7}]}'

That specifically remaps the "Right Option" key to the "Right Command" key. If you want to change what "Right Option" maps onto, you can replace HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst with the correct usage ID from this list (start at page 82 for keyboard usage IDs): https://usb.org/sites/default/files/hut1_22.pdf

Just put in 0x7000000XX and replace XX with the usage ID from the PDF.

Here is some basic info on remapping from Apple, but hidutil isn't that well documented, so I recommend experimenting with it using key usage IDs from that pdf. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2450/_index.html
