What viewer are you currently using? Are you using Naali or are you using a "second life" based viewer (Hippo, Emerald, Meerkat, S16, RealXtend viewer, or any of Kirstenlee's flavor of viewers?) I'm assuming that you mean "keyboard mapping" (and not "modifying controls") but either way, this is a viewer issue, not a "second life" or "open sim" issue. So it really depends on what viewer you are using. Are you using a "second life" based viewer, or are you using Naali? I'm not sure if you're referring to keyboard shortcut keys, but here is a list of shortcut keys for most second-life based viewers: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/All_keyboard_shortcut_keys There are quickstart guides, and "cheat sheets" available if you need help: http://www.scribd.com/doc/14427744/Second-Life-Quickstart-Guide Here's a cheat sheet: http://www.scribd.com/doc/22032366/Second-Life-Viewer-Cheatsheet Here are the keyboard shortcuts for the various platforms: http://www.scribd.com/doc/10047280/Keyboard-Shortcuts If you really truly want to "remap" the shortcut keys, then you can just use something like "KeyTweak" (a keyboard remapper). You can just configure it any way that you like, and then simply turn it on and off when you are using the viewer. http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/remap-keyboard.htm You can download "KeyTweak" here: http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/ Please post any further questions regarding "KeyTweak" or any other third-party software application to the specific authors of that key-mapping software. If you need help with KeyTweak the user manual can be found here: http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/KeyTweak%20Manual.pdf The author's email address is "zxcvbnm6...@yahoo.com" and his name is Travis Krumsick, and you can ask him any specific questions regarding his software directly to him. Just do a simple google search on "how to remap keyboard keys" or just click on the link below, and there should be quite a few pages on how to do it in Windows, Linux, or whatever operating system that you are using: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=how+to+remap+keyboard+keys&aq=f&aqi=&oq= There's a good list of keyboard re-mapping software here: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/remap-keyboard.htm As far as Naali is concerned, I haven't seen this feature on the roadmap, but Jonne would certainly know MUCH better than I would (as to what features will or won't be implemented in Naali). As Jonne has stated, Naali may eventually have controls/shortcut keys as changeable (or configurable) but it could be a while before this feature is added or done. All you can do is make a feature request, and wait patiently to see if it's implemented in a future release. In the meantime you can probably use a keyboard re-mapper for the time being if it's really bothering you. I hope this helps.
