Hi all Just a gentle reminder, regarding the content of this message. We ask that you pleas do not forward mail from different lists on to this one. Also, if you care to check the list archives, (see the footer of any message posted to the group to discover where the archives are), you’ll find Eric’s descriptions there at least twice.
I myself made the same mistake, I should have checked the archive before I started a similar topic a few months back. But again, this issue is covered in the archives. Just to add my own little bit into the mix, based on discussions Ive had with software engineering elsewhere, the “Bug”, as Sara calls it is probably not a “Bug” really. It has to do with the changes that were made recently to Apple’s keyboard drivers in relation to notebook machines. Although the scan codes are more or less identical, of course, there are other factors which may be causing the problem. And, somewhat ironically, it has to do with the keyboard interaction with VoiceOver and gestures. Apple hacked around a few issues I am told which cause some very rare issues to occur in software which are so rare that Apple probably doesn’t believe they warrant the time it would take to find another way around them. That is probably why, in some cases, these software titles work and not in others. I personally have been over all the steps several times, (as outlined on the website of the software developer). I found that, under Snow Leopard and below, they work flawlessly. Under Lion or later, I haven’t been able to get them to work properly at all. Again though , there are other complications. One of which is the keyboard map being used. The US keyboard layout is different, for instance, to the British layout. This in turn differs from the French layout, and so it goes on. Possibly, so speculates my correspondent, the scan codes differ slightly for non-textual keys such as the caps lock key. In summary, it seems that the Keyboard Remap utilities may not be the best way of going about solving this problem. I am going to try good old Sharp Keys again because it would produce far more localised an, therefore, more versatile results, in my case at least. I use the caps lock quite a lot under normal conditions and currently it is disabled. I’m going to do away with that concept because it seems that it no longer works reliably anyway.
