My 4th button is remapped to act as if Option-[ was pressed and my 5th button is remapped to act as if the "Forward" action was triggered. I also use another extension called USB Overdrive X to allow my 5 button mouse to work correctly. That way you don't have to retrain your left hand to move in a very awkward way to activate most shortcuts (those that require the Cmd key). The Alt key continues to act as an Alt key. I use DoubleCommand to swap the Cmd and Ctrl keys so that the key marked Ctrl on a windows keyboard (lower left corner) acts as the Command key and the Windows key acts as the Control key. * If you are used to Windows and forced to use a Macintosh for some reason, there are some extensions that will make you hate your computer a little less. I just tried Google to see if I could come up with anything but I couldn't. So I suspect that I might have modified some plist file to get the remapping. I am using only one other extension that is related to keyboard remapping (DoubleCommand*), and that extension has no option to remap the Insert key to be the Help key. However, looking through the Keyboard system preferences application, I don't see any signs of the remap there. This is not an Igor specific thing-it works in all applications. Somehow, about 2.5 years ago, I figured out a way to remap my Insert key (I use a PC keyboard) to be the Help key. I wish I could, but I cannot figure out how I did it, which is too bad because I'd like to set my home iMac up to work the same way. Notwhatucallanatural aclight - As a newish and reluctant Mac user, could you give me any more clues how to do this (on Lion).
