(I tried valiantly, repeatedly, to use WordPress for my response there, but the results were a mess.) for a highlighted view of Apple Human Interface Guidelines: The Keyboard ; Apple documentation for developers does include statements concerning modifier and other keys. I haven't read IBM SAA CUA but I assume that the IBM guidelines are more definitive. Some might argue, more restrictive. I share Lennart's pain concerning keystrokes in some applications for Mac OS X, but AFAIR I never had a problem with Finder or any other Apple application in Mac environments.

Obstacle 2: Switching between windowsObstacle 3: Home/End buttons (Unsolved)Obstacle 4: Python and friends As mentioned, my keyboard troubles are not over yet. Now it’s the rather important issue of moving the cursor to the end or the beginning of the line. This is one of the absolutely most common movements for a developer, and doing it with a mouse is not even thinkable.

Fixing up the Mac Key Bindings for Windows Users. [Note: Edited on 2010-02 to switch the order of the shift and command key modifiers.
Apparently, Mac OS is particular about the order.] [Edited on 2010-10-22 to describe how to use TextEdit to apply this key mapping] [Edited on 2010-11-12 to mention that TextEdit sometimes adds a .txt extension] I'm a longtime Windows user who recently purchased a Macbook. Overall I'm very impressed with the machine, but it does have a learning curve, especially for the key bindings. The first thing I noticed was that the Macbook does not have the Del and Ins keys at all, and the Home, End, PageUp and PageDown keys require pressing 'Fn' and then an Arrow key (which is understandable because the keyboard on a small Macbook is somewhat cramped -- also, I've asked a couple users who have not used PCs much before using a Mac, and they did not even know these keys existed, or what they would do with them) I did discover, however, that it is possible to switch the Control and Command keys.

Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD: Custom Keyboard in Linux/X11. Forward to Navigation Posted by Daniel Paul O'Donnell (Dec 9, 02:15 PM) Introduction As an Anglo-Saxonist and philologist, I make daily use of a number of characters that are not found on the standard US computer keyboard.
These include characters and accented letters from various European languages (e.g. ß, é, ä, ø), IPA symbols (e.g. ŋ, ә, etc.), Middle English ȝ, and various letters and forms used in Old English (æ, þ, ċ, ġ, ƿ, ū, ȳ, etc.). It is possible to gain access to these letters from the character map utility (versions of this are found in all operating systems) or from the “Insert Special Characters” function in my word processor. Fortunately, it is quite easy in X-11 based Linux distributions to create both custom keyboard layouts (for typing individual characters) and custom compose sequences (for building characters from their component parts). The following shows how I customised my keyboard and compose sequences in Ubuntu. Customising the keyboard layout or It works. Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts. KeyRemap4MacBook.
