I have a USB numpad that I want to assign certain functions to, specifically Eject and option+Eject. (I would've used a programmable USB keypad but those cost $150 compared to $3 for a numpad.) Problem is, numpads don't have any modifier keys on them.
I can't see how to make Quicksilver assign a vanilla key as a trigger hot key. It has to be a modifier combination or a function key. (As a workaround, I tried using Ukelele to convert the '=' key into a function key, but I'm experiencing problems with that too.) This computer already has Quicksilver installed, so I'd like to utilize it. If all else fails I'll install KeyRemapForMacbook, but it's just more memory hogging and I'm concerned about potential conflicts.
