However, it should be noted that if you’re using Windows and you have a keyboard with a full number pad, you can only execute these keyboard shortcuts if you use the number keys on your number. To display a telephone keypad, an email keyboard, or a URL keyboard, use the tel, email, or url keywords for the type attribute on an input element, respectively. To display a numeric keyboard, set the value of the pattern attribute to ' [0-9]* ' or ' d *'. On a Mac you can do this under System Preferences > Keyboard > Show Keyboard Character View as a Menu Bar.Now you can visit the upper-right hand corner and select Show Keyboard Viewer to use the on-screen keyboard, which you can drag to resize.

Is there a way to print / access all the custom keyboard shortcuts I've set up for my programs in Windows XP?

I mean the 'Ctr + Alt + [LETER]' shortcuts you set up to open specific programs.

I've googled but no luck.

Thanks for the help!

If you only need to detect which hotkeys are assigned to program shortcuts, Shortcuts Map (freeware) does exactly that!It will also tell you the corresponding program the hotkey is assigned to, and allow you to change it within the program:

Supported Platforms: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003.

ActiveHotkeys is a lightweight computer software program that can display all active hotkeys of a computer system. It does so by testing all possible combinations. The main interface offers two selectors on the left side. The first is called modifiers and is a selection of Alt, Windows, Ctrl and Shift combinations that can be selected. It is possible to test all combinations or only selected ones. Selecting only the Windows modifier will only check the selected keys in combination with the Windows key but not Alt, Ctrl or Shift.

The second group are key groups. This ranges from alphabetical over numbers to functional keys and punctuation. It is again possible to select some or all of these key groups. A user selecting all modifiers and all key groups would test all possible Windows hotkey combinations on his computer system. A right click on one of the two selection groups displays quick selection possibilities, e.g. checking all items, or only two-key modifiers.

The program will then test the selected combinations and display all results in the main window.

Please note that Windows does not allow for detecting which application has registered a particular shortcut, so that feature is not included.

While you can't detect which hotkey is assigned to which application, you can find out whether a hotkey is available or or not. Ideal if you want to assign new global hotkeys but want to make sure that these do not interfere with already existing ones.

Active Hotkeys is free & portable software.

You can also use Hotkey Commander (15 days free trial, $15 after that):

Amongst many other features, it allows you to find out what hotkey combination is registerd by which application.

I have a Logitech Windows keyboard and I want to use it on my iMac. The problem is that many buttons are mapped to the wrong places. For example, when I press Right Alt + 2 I get the ™ symbol and not a @ symbol. The problem also exists when I'm running RDP and log on a Windows XP machine. I have Swedish regional settings (input method) on Mac OS X.

• Is it possible to remap the keyboard so that on a remote Windows XP machine all keys on the keyboard really work?
• Can I disable all Mac OS X shortcuts when I'm in an RDP window?

I have a standard Logitech Windows USB keyboard.

It seems to be a layout problem. When I install the Logitech keyboard layout I can choose it, but it just shifts back to the default layout after a while.

You might have a look at Ukelele, a free Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor :

Ukelele is a Unicode Keyboard Layout Editor for Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later. Version 2.0 and later are only for Mac OS X versions 10.4 and later.

Beginning with version 10.2 (Jaguar), Mac OS X supports an XML-based format for keyboard layouts (.keylayout files). These may be installed by copying them to the Keyboard Layouts folder within /Library or ~/Library; then they are enabled via the Input tab of the International (Language & Text in 10.6) module within System Preferences.

However, modifying keyboard layouts—let alone creating entirely new keyboard layouts, such as for a new script—by directly editing the XML text is tedious and error-prone.

Ukelele aims to simplify keyboard layout editing by providing a graphical interface to .keylayout files, where the desired characters can simply be dragged onto keys as needed. (The Character Palette or Character Viewer, available in the Input menu if it has been enabled in System Preferences, is a great place to find the characters.)

In addition to simple assignment of single character codes to keys, Ukelele can assign multiple-character strings and can create 'dead keys', where a keystroke sets a new state that modifies the output of the following keystroke.

For more information about Mac OS X keyboard layouts, as well as existing layouts available for download, see Input Resources. For some types of layout, particularly with large numbers of dead-key sequences, creating a layout with the text-based tool KeyLayoutMaker may be a useful alternative.

The problem is that your modifier keys are incorrectly set. You can fix this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys. Change the settings around until you get the correct configuration for your keyboard.

You might try under system preferences / language & text / input sources. I see, for example, 'British' and 'British - PC' as separate categories. Selecting the latter seems to cause keys to map correctly to my British (Logitech) PC keyboard. This is after installing the Logitech Device Manager (with no visible effect) and headscratching over the contents of Library/Keyboard Layouts. This in on 10.8.3, for what it's worth.

System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources includes many PC layouts, and there are also premade PC layouts for languages like German and French.

You can use Ukelele to create your own keylayout:

• Select File > New From Current Input Source.
• Change the keys.
• Save as bundle to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/. Keyboard layouts in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts/ can't be selected in password dialogs or the login window, and the popovers shown when holding keys don't work with normal .keylayout files.
• Log out and back in and enable the input source in System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources.

To apply changes to a keylayout, you have to for example run sudo touch /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ and log out and back in. You can disable the default input sources by editing the com.apple.HIToolbox plist.

Another option is to use Karabiner (previously called KeyRemap4MacBook):

You can remap keys in the user interface and it takes effect directly.

Or if you can consider switching to the U.S layout, it has all ASCII characters in the same positions on Mac and Windows.
