The keyboard mapping information is stored in a KCHR resource in that file - but the file has the resources in the data fork. (f you're using more than English, you may have to do this for each language I haven't tried other languages). System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Frameworks/amework/ Resources/English.lproj/Localized.rsrc. A little tedious, but it seems to work like a charm.
For a long time my inability to do this (I learned to type on a Selectric keyboard, and hate it when shift-period produces > instead of a period) was one thing that kept me from going to OS X full time.
"I see that someone asked how to modify OS X keyboard mappings. I have read the aricle on, but they are poiniting out a rather unsupported utility called QuickConvert. I did the trick under 9.x, but I have no luck under OSX. I need to swap Alt & Windows button function, because now Windows button is acting like Command, and I really would like to use Alt (it's obvious) as Command.
If the device doesn’t support it, you’ll need to pair and unpair it each time.I'm using a standard Windows USB keyboard. There’s no software that is going to your initiate your Bluetooth devices to switch from one device to another - you can only imagine the security implications!īottom line, to easily switch between devices without complex the re-pairing as you describe, you need devices that support multiple pairings. There are many other brands (Bose, Apple AirPods, Sony, etc.) that have this functionality. Sennheiser headphones (my personal choice) can pair with up to 8 devices total and with 2 simultaneously. However, products like the Logitech MX series as well as the K380 (typing on it right now) can pair with up to 3 devices and switch with the press of a button. The Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad are designed to be paired with a single computer (they make no reference to multiple device pairings). You purchase Bluetooth devices (keyboard, mouse, headset, etc.) that have multiple device support. I would like to seamlessly switch my Bluetooth devices (headphones, magic keyboard, touch pad) between work / personal Macs without complex repairing. Hope this helps, post a comment if it works or experienced other issues. When reconnecting pairing and connecting is run (unpair in beginning just in case) When disconnecting from currently connected device unpairing is done to avoid reconnect back and connection issues with other device.
P.S the script sometimes hangs when trying to connect, in such case I turn off and back on the keyboard and run again.Įxplanation: first it is checked if we are connected if we are we disconnect and if not reconnect. Now, whenever you want to switch between devices run the script first on the device currently connected to keyboard and then run on the other device and viola! keyboard now connected to other device.
