I just swapped its function from Backspace to Delete.Īfter you install SharpKeys, launch the program and click Add. And of course, I sacrificed the Delete key which was acting as Backspace. The Command key was acting as Windows key, so I made the left Windows key the new left Alt key. I had to sacrifice two Mac keys to replace them with Alt and Delete. In my case the Control key was working, but the Alt and Delete keys didn’t work, even using the Fn key. Remapping some of the keys on your Macbook keyboard will make your ctrl+alt+delete combination work out. Included in the application is a list of common keyboard keys and a Type Key feature to automatically recognize most keyboard keys.” “SharpKeys is a utility that manages a Registry key that allows Windows to remap one key to any other key.
Ok, there is one small program named SharpKeys that saved my life. If you are in this situation, make sure you plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the Macbook while logged in Windows partition, so the system could be able to install internal drivers – this step is not required but it can make you feel more comfortable doing the next steps. Here is one forum discussion which proves that. One minor problem is that the DELETE button on your Macbook might not work as well. Here also comes the problem with hitting control+alt+delete combination, because user is required to use this key combination in order to log into the domain. Naturally, if you have a user with a Macbook using it on their workplace, I assume you would want to join their “Windows partition” to your domain for obvious reasons: Windows integrated authentication to network resources, access to network printers, NTFS shares, authentication to various Internet proxies, security issues and many different services – you name it. Yet another pain for Windows System Administrators.
And especially if you don’t properly install Windows with the Bootcamp utility, along with adequate drivers or support files – all these things can cost you a bad mood and shiny day spent in the office. This case is very simple: a Windows keyboard is not equal with a Mac keyboard.
