RE: Quick Question about Using an Apple Keyboard with Bootcamp

2018-01-15 Thread Simon Fogarty 
No it's not but it's ok 

Once you have windows installed and the bootcamp drivers setup correctly, then 
if you have the function keys set to act as f1 f2 normal function keys which 
you change under system preferences keyboard in the mac then you can use the 
key combination of

Function key shift and f10 to right click or application key 

I do this everyday on my mac book air running windows 10.

Subject: Quick Question about Using an Apple Keyboard with Bootcamp

Hi all,
I’m sorry if this question’s been asked before if there’s a good tutorial 
available I’d love if anyone could point me to it.

I’m taking the plunge and installing Windows this afternoon, but before I do I 
have a concern about the Mac’s keyboard working with Windows. I’ve read 
somewhere that the applications key isn’t supported on the Apple keyboard. Is 
there a way to re-map the apple keyboard for use on Windows so I have an 
applications key and a modifier key for NVDA?

Your call entirely. Which you choose will have no impact on how/how well the 
keyboard works. I use wired, but only because I'm too cheap to by a wireless 
one. Plus, I prefer mechanical keyboards, and the one I'm on now was $25 on 
sale; a wireless mechanical keyboard is north of $100, last I looked.

Sounds great.

I’m looking into purchasing an external keyboard but I haven’t used Windows in 
years. Will a wireless keyboard work well or should I deal with wires?

Your NVDA key can be caps lock, which I've come to prefer even on desktop 
keyboards. I believe that's in either general or keyboard settings for NVDA.

Applications I'm not as sure of, but I know people often recommend a program 
called Sharp Keys. I don't have a link handy, but a search engine should find 
it for you. Using this program, you can re-assign keys at will. For instance, 
for when I don't have a full keyboard handy and need to run Windows virtually 
on my own Mac, I use the accent key as the NVDA modifier. I do this since 
VMWare can't get the caps lock key, but as you're using Bootcamp, this won't be 
a concern.
