![]() ![]() For example, launch Safari and press the keyboard shortcut Control-T to create a new tab. To test the new configuration, head to an application that uses a shortcut with, by default, the Command Key (which is virtually any application). Once you’ve made your changes, just press OK to save them and close the window, then close System Preferences. In our example, we’ll set the Command Key entry to Control and the Control Key Entry to Command. Next, click the drop-down menu to the right of the same key you chose in the drop-down of the first entry and change it to match the first key. To remap any of these keys, such as our example of switching the function of the Command and Control keys, click the drop-down menu to the right of the first key you’d like to change and select its new desired function. This will display a list of your Mac’s four modifier keys, which by default are each set to their own function. To remap your keyboard’s “modifier keys” - the name of keys that change the function of other keys or shortcuts, such as Command, Control, Option, and Caps Lock - in OS X, head to System Preferences > Keyboard and click the button labeled Modifier Keys in the bottom-right side of the window. Thankfully, users can solve this problem by optionally remapping the functions of their keyboard, effectively switching the Control and Command keys. This makes switching back and forth between using a Mac and PC a bit frustrating, as the user must adjust the position of their fingers after each switch to utilize all of the important keyboard shortcuts in Windows and OS X. Beyond this difference, Mac and PC keyboards also feature unique layouts, with the Alt/Option Key on a PC keyboard occupying the location of the Command Key on a Mac keyboard (immediately adjacent to the left and right of the Space Bar). On a PC/Windows keyboard, however, many of the same keyboard shortcuts utilize the Control Key (⌃) instead of the Command Key. The most important key on a Mac’s keyboard is arguably the Command Key (⌘), which is used in a tremendous number of important keyboard shortcuts, from Command-C to copy, to Command-P to print, to Command-Shift-3 to take a screenshot. So that leaves us to suspect the logic board has a problem either at the keyboard connector or the traces but even that doesn't make sense! As just like the keyboard its self the lines from the keyboard travel to the logic board where the signals are decoded.How to Switch the Command and Control Keys on Your Mac Keyboard Here's a good read on how keyboards work: The Blue Pill Option Building a Keyboard (part-4) But the limits of the CMD as well as the Zero keys doesn't quite make sense. You see I could see a row or a column of keys failing as that would suggest either the X or Y wire lines had a break. I'm wondering if you by mistake put the old keyboard back in. ![]() What I find odd is if you have replaced the keyboard and the exact same keys are messed up. Then go to 'Input' tab so you can make sure the correct keyboard is present. First click on 'Keyboard' and click on 'Show keyboard.' So now the right menu bar will show the viewer. Open the Preferences and open the Control Keyboard Panel. OK lets do this open the keyboard viewer and check to see if the keys action is working Vs the interpretation on what the key means. ![]()
