Mapping the AMIGA key

Probably that has been asked before, unfortunately i cannot find the information i'd need to solve my problem.

I recently got an USB cordless keyboard/mouse combo (Logitech WAVE) and apart form the missing Amiga keys it works a treat.

The left window key does act as a left Amiga key, but i don't have the right window key, there is only a "Fn" key, which does add some special functionality to other keys scattered over the keyboard.

I did set the right window key to menu in UBoot and it works (though with the rather annoying key combo - Fn-Menu to have a right Amiga key).

The key combos with this are working (i.e. close all drawers with one click, close the parent drawer when opening a sub drawer and such) except the copy&paste combination and i don't know why.

Neither Amiga+C, nor Amiga+V work and i REALLY miss those (ever copied stuff from the shell window?)

Now my question, how have others solved this kind of problem?
Are there any keymappers out there that could map the Amiga key to CTRL (which would in my eyes the best solution for those keyboard/mouse combos).

What else could i try?

Please help

Thanks a lot in advance

Look at the keyboard layout *before* you buy it perhaps ?

I stumbled across a similar problem with a cheap Logitech keyboard, too: it does not have a Scroll key and thus cannot be used with KVM switches. No solution for that, had to stay with my old keyboard.

I don't know if it is the same problem, but i was able to edit the layout of my keboard on amiga os 4.x to use a key that was present in the keyboard but not use on the amiga os.. but i don't know if it is the same..

Take a look at AllKeys.

Don't remap RAmiga to RCtrl - you'll lose ctrl completely, as the two ctrl keys are treated as the same thing within AmigaOS. RAlt might be a better bet.

Amigakeyremapper can be made to remap right amiga to the left alt key. To do this just modify the lines in main.c:

to:

and type "make" to compile (this requires that you have the SDK installed of course).

@Chris

Thanks for the CTRL hint, i wouldnt have known

Ill take a look at AllKeys aswell as i have it already installed, but doesnt seem to be able to find the right command/option

@salass00

Thank you for that program, i will try to install (make) it asap im back on my amiga again (That looks like exactly the thing i was searching for)

Cheers all
