remap/swap Ctrl and Fn on Ti 667?

[smintz]

I'd really like to be able to swap the CTRL and Fn keys on my Ti 667?
Anyone know of a way to do that? I use Ctrl all the time and end up hitting Fn key instead. It's a real pain for me. The Ctrl key is usually the first key on that row of the keyboard.

thanks in advance.

This (http://www.macintouch.com/mosxreaderreports63.html) site has a quick tutorial on changing keymappings.. One thing, once you locate the file, you're going to have to copy it somewhere (desktop is the easiest) where you will actually have permissions in order to run QuickConvert on it. Otherwise, you will get an error message as root access is required to change the copy in /System. To do this in the terminal, try this..

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Resources/English.lproj/ (this puts you in the right directory)

cp Localized.rsrc ~/Desktop/ (this gives you a copy that you can edit on your desktop)

sudo cp Localized.rsrc Localized.old (this gives you a backup copy, just in case)

Now, do all the file editing, then:

sudo cp ~/Desktop/Localized.rsrc Localized.rsrc (this copies the edited file from the desktop to the correct place)

Then, you should be able to either logout or restart (not sure which is necessary) and the new file will (hopefully) work as expected. If it doesn't, just:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Resources/English.lproj/ (this puts you in the right directory)

sudo cp Localized.old Localized.rsrc (this copies your back-up back into place)

Then logout/restart and everything should be fine.

The article is a bit skimpy on details, if you need any help on the ResEdit part I'll (probably) be able to provide more info.

Hope this helped.
