[Shop-talk] keyboard help

[John Niolon]

thanks Shannah,,,

strangest thing... I played with the Microsoft keyboard mapper under control 
panel for over an hour this a.m. and couldn't make the changes stick... it 
would show as reprogrammed, but when I went to excel... no new 
reprogramming.... this time it worked, must be the super moon.

so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v

see ???   thanks for your magical control of my keyboard... it's gonna make 
my life ssooo much easier now

A keyboard with a Synaptics touchpad in it will allow you to use 
programmable
touch zones for that sort of thing.

Alternately, this article from Microsoft support seems to apply:

although I wouldn't be surprised if this only works with Microsoft
branded keyboards.
