Product Description:

fKeys is a MacOS X keyboard tweaker. It is heavily inspired by uControl, but it's rewritten for Tiger from the ground up. In fact, it ONLY runs on Tiger.

It is still incredibly young, so it does only three things at present:

  1. CAPS LOCK on every keyboard attached to your Macintosh turns into a Control key.
  2. The right Control key of any external keyboard connected to your Macintosh becomes a Command key.
  3. The Enter key on the internal keyboard of a PowerBook becomes an Option key.

THAT'S IT. No runtime configuration, no pretty preference pane, no mouse handling, no nothin' -- just those three things. With more to come later, of course. [ :) ]


WARNING! fKeys 0.0.1 is very much beta code; it is VERY IMPORTANT that you read the fKeys home page to understand the risks of installing it!

What's new in this version:

0.0.2 can remain installed across boot and can properly handle hotplugged keyboards.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • MacOS X 10.4.2

fKeys ReviewLimited, but works perfectly. - Version: 0.0.2, 7/29/2005 11:29AM PST

Been looking for a replacement for uControl in using an IBM keyboard with my Al PB. Apple's option to change mapping on modifier keys is okay, but not perfect because I do need the control, option, and command keys and there was no way to do that. Now there is.

It would be great if the developer can create a user interface to make changes on the fly to really customize the keyboard.

Thanks for the product.

Older Powerbook users NEED to remap the enter key on the right side to a command key, this would be sooooo great....
