Mac Utilities- SharpKeys and Apple Mouse Utility

posted in Technology, Mac |

Part of the main motivation for writing a blog is to help myself remember all those key things for sometime later. Like that list of critical utilities it takes to keep Vista happy running on a MacBook. The bad news is I blew it and now I’m rebuilding my MacBook drive and I can’t remember some of the key stuff I had installed.

One key utility is SharpKeys. SharpKeys lets you remap keys on your keyboard in Windows. So for example the Mac doesn’t have the equivalent of the Windows “del” key- its delete is like the Windows backspace key. So I’ve used SharpKeys to map the enter key that I don’t use much to Del.

The other utility is Apple Mouse Utility. Apple Mouse lets you use the control key to right click when running Windows to get around the lack of a two-button mouse on the MacBook.

I’ll try to document more here as I go along.
