Great Simple Little Applet

Works just like the website says... Only thing is I would love to have it mapped to individual user profile rather than to the machine.

MapKeyboard

Very simple but does not go far enough. I required to map accented characters using AltGr for example. It's good at what it does but did not suite me.

This will do just fine

This is great. Just what I needed.

Fn key Ctrl

I wanted to replace my notebook Fn key with Ctrl. But this program cannot do it. :-/

Not useful for international keyboards...

This isn't all that useful, except if you have an English keyboard.

Switchboard turnaround

as all telephone keypads are 123, 456, 789, 0 from top to bottom, and for eons you've been used to using a telephone keypad to enter information you can imagine the difficulty in having to remember on a computer keyboard they are the other way round. I learnt on Windows 3.1 or some such release that you could re-assign the keys to do other jobs, but in the mist of time I forgot what you had to do, so I set about trying to find out, I came across your programme and used it to effect the desired solution and it worked really well. I didn't have to look at any of the instructions, it was fairly intuitive. I'm really grateful that you have taken the time to create it.

Transfers to other computers

It works wonderfully well. One quirk -- not a problem -- is in using the program on more than one computer. Downloaded it to my desktop and installed it and am very happy. Transferred the instal file to my notebook and it became scrambled beyond recognition. Not a major problem. Wired my notebook to the Internet, downloaded the program and installed it. So this is not a complaint. Just the mention of a slight quirk.

I love mapkeyboard.

This is an extremly useful software for those who use windows on a macbook.
Althrough the interface have some problem dysplay correctly in a macbook wide screen, it do all the helpfup jobs of changing the functions of the keys. It help me to make those useful key like del, ins, home, end etc available in a macbook run on win xp.
Thanks very much for developing and sharing this tool.
Best wishes!

Does what it says, but not what I hoped

It works fine! Switching between Mac and PC every day drives me nuts. I have attatched an Apple USB keyboard to my PC and wanted to configure Windows to treat my Apple Command key like a CTRL key. This worked fine using MapKeyboard by changing the "windows menu key" to "ctrl" functions.

I have realized I also need a way to reprogram standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (like program switching on CTRL+TAB instead of ALT+TAB) and this is where WinXP falls short. This is not MapKeyboard's fault.

Finally MapKeyboard could support non-US layouts like Danish Swedish and German by simply using the same keyboard/language recognition software that Windows uses.

Easy to use

MapKeyboard allowed me to easily disable my right arrow key which had been giving me trouble. It was free and easy to use.
