Change keyboard modifier keys automatically on OSX with Applescript
Here is an elegant solution to a common problem which has troubled a large number of otherwise happy Macbook, and Macbook Pro users over the past few years. The scenario is this: you use your shiny apple laptop both at the office and at home. At the office, you use whatever accessories the friendly IT staff has provided you. This generally includes a generic windows based keyboard, cute little windows key and all. For those not familiar with the problem this creates, don’t bother reading the rest of this - I promise it will be boring. If this is something you have encountered on the other hand, I don’t need to tell you that the switching of Apple key and Option key (alt key and windows key on a windows keyboard) is enough to drive a mac user crazy.
Technorati Tags: Applescript, keyboard, OSX
Fortunately, Apple has given us a relatively easy way of switching the functionality of these two keys, allowing a windows keyboard to act just like your built in keyboard, or an apple external keyboard. Under System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard, you will see a button on the lower left called “Modifier Keys…” Clicking that will present you with an opportunity to manually switch these keys around. If you always use the same keyboard, or never plan to use both the external windows keyboard and the internal keyboard on your laptop, you are done. Those of us that actually use the laptop as, you know, a mobile computer are still left with frustration anytime we switch environments and keyboards. Put simply, it sucks to have to go through this process every time you move your machine.
Applescript to the rescue! Lance Ball has written a very handy Applescript which will quickly and cleanly open your system preferences and switch the behavior of these two keys. The script (see below for the code) can easily be run manually whenever there is a need to flip-flop these keys. I wanted to take this just one step further and have complete automation of this process. Basically I want my computer to know where it is, and change it’s behavior accordingly without me having to think about it. Fortunately, there is a wonderful open source package available that provides exactly this functionality (and a lot more.) By using MarcoPolo on my macbook pro, I can setup a number of rules which the software can use to actively determine the machines current location. Once the location has been successfully determined (generally only takes a few seconds) a number of actions can be executed including changing networking settings (ie. enabling a proxy) and pursuant to the topic of this post, running an applescript.
I’ve set this up and it works wonderfully. Upon opening the computer in my office, MarcoPolo detects it’s location and automatically sets up my keyboard preferences accordingly. When I unplug for the day and head home, it again automatically understands that I’m not longer connected to that keyboard and reconfigures my system back to the standard Apple configuration - very nice!
The following is the unmodified script written by Lance Ball. I’m reposting it here as his website is currently under re-construction and the code is unavailable for download there. I have personally modified this script a bit to work more elegantly with the MarcoPolo setup described above, but wanted full credit for the code to go to Lance.
UPDATE Feb 2008: The following code applies to OSX 10.4 and earlier only. Updated applescript for 10.5 can be found below (here) thanks to commenter Joe Thomas.

For non english Mac OSX, you’ll need to localize the references :
“Modifier Keys…” and “Keyboard & Mouse”
Is there a way to do the same thing via command line (ie write com.apple.xxx setting Command and alt mapping but I don’t know where those setting are stored)
I think It could be a lot faster than replaying the Point and click settings…
Thanks a lot (I bought a DiNovo for My PowerBook and DoubleCommand is a pain for using both keyboard without travelling in Prefpane)
Thanks again and again

Thanks very much. I knew I was not the only person who had this problem!
Actually, I use a Windows external keyboard with my new MacBook Pro at my desk at home. I have been using keyboards designed for Windows on desktop Macs at home for probably ten years. First it was the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite, and now it’s the Belkin Ergoboard Pro. These are both “split-key” angled designse. They are comfortable and they are inexpensive.
When I take the MacBook Pro out of the house, I need to use the built-in Apple keyboard. Your solution has made things easier, so thanks.

Can you please provide details as to how you configured MarcoPolo to use this AppleScript?
August 27th, 2007 at 8:41 am
Wheat,
Marcopolo only supports executing a shell script as an action, not an Applescript. I worked with this by creating a tiny shell script to call the applescript. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the original post.
Here is the script called by Marcopolo: keyboard-swap.sh
#!/bin/sh
osascript /Users/myusername/Scripts/keyboard-swap.scpt
the oascript command tells the system to execute the applescript.
cheers
August 27th, 2007 at 9:35 am
Instead of adding it as a shell script, you can also add it as an “Open” action. This way, you don’t need to create a wrapper shell script, and can just reference the original .scpt-file.
September 14th, 2007 at 6:38 am
You are awesome. Thanks so much! I can’t use MarcoPolo to do my location switching, since it never refires a VPN connection script, but I manually invoke a couple scripts with Quicksilver, and this fits in perfectly.

It appears that the script is not functioning properly in Leopard. For some reason, if the keys are in their default setting, the script won’t switch them, but if they are already switched, it has no problem restoring defaults. Please email me if you’re able to tweak this or check it out.

Из за нестабильности сайтов на аккаунте (аптайм не дотягивал и до 80%) попросил супорт что то решить с этим вопросом, они перенесли мой аккаунт на новый сервер, после чего у меня пропали саб домены, написал об этом им, они сказали что забыли их перенести, только вдумайтесь какими нужно быть безответственными что бы просто забыть, после того как они перенесли сабдомены заработали, но при этом базу они запороли напроч, полетела кодировка таблиц и часть данных, сразу они начали отрицать своё причастие, потом после того как я начал требовать логи, они вообще меня игнорируют, прошло уже 5 дней, а ответов нету http://forum.siemensgsm.ru.
Я с этой ситуации просто вшоке, буду распространять инфу по нету, что бы люди 100 раз подумали перед тем как выбрать славхост.
И вообще супорт у них если вам и удасться выцепить, то там всеравно не на один вопрос толком ответить не могут, стабильности работы никакой, постоянные ошибки.
Вобщем хуже хостинга чем http://slavhost.ru пока я ещё не встречал, советую всем задуматься перед тем как воспользоваться их услугами.

Thanks so much for the tip!
The one tweak I’d recommend is avoiding the “Restore Defaults” button. I remap caps lock to control and the reset button clobbers that handily.
Here’s a modified version of the script that inverts the logic in the first branch instead of using the restore button.
I’ve tested it on 10.4 but not 10.5.
fyi,

I have modified the script as well. In my version, when you change the settings for an external keyboard to swap keys, it will also change the settings for the Macbook’s Internal Keyboard to the defaults (so you can use both as naturally as possible). As well, I added Growl notifications to show you what mode you are in (external or default.

Oh what I wouldn t give to have been a fly on the wall during this luncheon. Here is Heidi Montag having lunch with Meghan McCain, who is none other than the daughter of Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain. And yes, Heidi is boring as usual with her straight blonde locks that never change. Meghan of course does not have the most inspiring hairstyle, but when your dad is running for President of the United States, fading into the background is much more requisite than standing out amongst the crowd. Heidi dressed as conservative as even she could I suppose, and styled her hair in the same boring style with the flat iron and the side part. One would think that if you are somewhat of a starlet and are going to be seen with the daughter of a Presidential candidate you might make more of an effort. However, maybe Heidi doesn t even understand the whole Presidential thing who knows! Shake it up Heidi! Her hairstyle is getting as about as boring as her storyline.

We witnessed a very crazy day for the stock market yesterday. The DOW plunged 800 points only to come roaring back to close down 370 points. It was breathtaking for many of us because we were glued to our TV (and computer screen) as the stock market kept on going down but for some of us, it didn’t really matter because our focus was on other things.
Yesterday, I was extremely busy at work. I was so busy that I didn’t have time to check on Yahoo Finance nor did I have time to talk to my coworkers about the stock market. When I finally sat down and looked at how the market was doing, I saw the headline (DOW plunged 800 points and closed at 370) on the homepage. My net worth probably plunged just like any other 350 point down days, but it didn’t matter as much to me.
I wasn’t emotionally upset this time because I wasn’t “living” the roller coaster. As a result, it hurt my wallet but didn’t hurt my feelings. I felt much better and saved myself from much of the emotions of a down day just by focusing on other parts of my life. I wasn’t thinking about the stock market nor was I worrying about the Cisco (CSCO) shares that I owned.
I was living my life and not being controlled by the stocks I own. I felt good. In this type of market, maybe you should try it too.
How did you spend your day yesterday? Did you even know that the stock market plunged? Can you sleep at night these days? If you aren’t worried at all, reply and show some encouragement to those that couldn’t!
