If you go to Keyboard and Mouse preferences and select the Keyboard
tab; there is a Modifier Keys button that allows you to change the
functions of the modifier keys. I've used it to "reverse" the keys
you mentioned.

Hi Kevin,
I have a bluetooth keyboard that I use with my Mac Mini and I
absolutely love it! There is pairing that needs to take place when
you set it up, but that is doble. I love the portability it allows
me; I can sit at my dining room table or in my living room, two
rooms over, and interact with my computer. If I were you, I
wouldn't mess with remapping keys, but instead spend the $55 or so
dollars and get a new keyboard.
Best wishes,
Cheryl
There's more to sight than meets the eye!

Subject: Re: Remapping some keys.
Hey folks. I've got a windows wireless keyboard that I like to
use
with this Mac book. However, as you all know, the command and
option
keys are switched around. Is there any way to remap these keys,
or
should I just bite the big one and buy a bluetooth keyboard. Any
You should not buy a bluetooth keyboard. I just had mine
replaced with a
USB keyboard because all wireless keyboards are not reliable as
far as I
can gather. A lot of them require Windows software to pair
correctly and
not using bluetooth is silly since the infrared ones are
line-of-sight
which is no good. Never mind that they have limited range. I
never did get
my bluetooth keyboard that I just had replaced to work with the
OS X box
or the Linux boxes that I have. So, I cannot recommend wireless
myself. I
got a lot of extra letters or dropped letters and general
unresponsiveness
and it was not fun. I'm currently using a Saitek Eclipse II
which feels
much like the clicky keyboards but is USB and very quiet. I
could figure
out how to remap keys easily enough if you're interested. That
is what
I think you should do.
