I don’t know how to do that, I’m afraid

I'm actually still using this keyboard with a mini!

I've forgotten how to set it up tho. Like Teresa, having trouble mapping all three: 'ctl', 'option', 'cmnd'

I can use osx to get 'alt' to map to 'cmnd', but wish to get the 'rightmouse' key to function as my 'option'

I use the keyboard system preference to assign the ‘alt’ key to generate the command modifier.

Hi:

The Impossibility Machine has spoken. I have the exact same problem! It's a new mac mini and the Logitech Y-RAN77.

I'm still trying to get this keyboard to generate the Mac modifier button. The alt, ctl, and Mac modifiers are all helter-skelter. If you have any advice, it would be very much appreciated.

thanks! Teresa

I'm a happy customer of Zen, and I've been with them long enough that I have one of their actually unlimited plans (which I don't think they sell so cheaply these days).

The price I pay is that I only have 512K download speed. Upgrading to a modern speed would mean paying a lot more for the bandwidth I use.

That's a lot of downloads, John; may I ask who your ISP is, please? Also, what sort of speeds are you getting?

At work we churn those sorts of numbers, although it's mostly backups and the like.

Yeah, many also have absolute caps on the monthly download amount. Jan, Feb and October would have busted over many UK ISP limits.

Not mine though :-)

Do UK ISPs start bottlenecking your bandwidth after some predetermined amount ala Comcast? Even though their limits are quite generous (250GB/mo) it sets a dangerous precedent.

Thanks Scott! The last few months have certainly been fun.
