remapping my right alt key to act as the left one

Hi, I wonder if anybody could help me?


I would like to remap my right Alt key to work in the same way as the left Alt key. I could use Karabina elements to do this, but annoyingly this seems to break my alt+cmd+eject keyboard shortcut.


Ive found this article on how apple recommends remapping keys, but im not sure how to adapt it for my specific needs - would somebody be able to help possibly?

many thanks

Are you talking about some Windows keyboard? On Mac keyboards right and left alt/option should always do the same thing.
