KeyRemap4MacBook
Eject Key
■ "Eject Key to XXX" doesn't work.
The eject key has a delay, so you need to push and hold eject key for a few seconds. Install NoEjectDelay to get rid of a delay.
In addition, the eject key does not support key repeat exceptionally. Unfortunately we cannot add the key repeat feature for the eject key by the limit of the kernel of Mac OS X.
All other keys support key repeat feature. Try "Shift_R to Forward Delete", "F12 to Forward Delete" or others if needed.
FN Key
■ "XXX to FN" doesn't work.
"XXX to FN" becomes effective for only "FN+cursor" and "NumPad" function.
About the functional keys such as brightness or the volume control, you need to enable "FN+F1 to Brightness Down" or something separately in "Change F1..F16 Key".
Hardware
■ KeyRemap4MacBook does not work with a keyboard of Logitech, Microsoft, etc.
In some keyboards such as Logitech or Microsoft keyboard, KeyRemap4MacBook does not work with the third vendor's device driver.
Uninstall the third vendor's device driver first when KeyRemap4MacBook does not work.
Emacs Mode
■ What is Emacs Mode useful for?
MacOS X can operate Emacs style by default. For example, movement in C-p, C-n is supported in TextEdit.
However, there is the thing that you cannot perform these operation in some applications.
- You cannot move cursor by C-p, C-n in Finder.
- You cannot submit by C-m in Safari's addressbar.
- You cannot move focus by C-i in Safari.
- You cannot cancel a dialog by C-[.
It is Emacs Mode that will replace C-p with arrow key and clear such a trifling troublesome thing.
