Simulate that i hold an random Key.

Hey,


i just oponend an discussion for an long time ago and marked those as solved, but ihe advice from User calledMelophagedoesn't helps.


"Hey Guys,


i just want to generate an Caps Lock Function for my Option Key, cause of my handicap i couldn't hold this Key anytime.



Any Suggestions or advices to fix my problem as soon as possible. 😉


Thanks in advance.

n1mare.!


n1mare,


KeyRemap4MacBook will allow you to set either Option key (or both Option keys) to act as a Caps Lock."



Hi Melophage,


i just need to correct my reply. It doesn't works. I don't want to act with my option keys as Caps lock. I just want to simulate, that i hold those Keys. (for example Shift_L & Option_R) 😉


Hopefully my explanations are understandable and you could help soon as possible. 🙂


Many Thanks.

n1mare.

n1mare,


if you still have KeyRemap4MacBook installed, you can set up a “Control Lock” function through e.g. checking the “▼ Change Control_L Key (Left Control) → Control_L to Sticky Control_L” checkbox — this would turn the left Control key into a Control Lock key.


Alternatively, you could open the Accessibility pane of System Preferences, select Keyboard on the left-hand side, and then check the “Enable Sticky Keys” checkbox to have all of your modifier keys act as Lock versions. If you choose this option, then I’d recommend also checking the “Show Accessibility status in menu bar” checkbox.


I don’t know of any program that will set a random key to be a Lock key — the choices in KeyRemap4MacBook are all for specific keys, not for making one random selection out of all of the keys.
