[comp.sys.mac] Reprogramming Keyboard Layout

lisa@cs.utexas.edu (Lisa Laguna) (01/11/89)

I am wondering how feasible it would be to reprogram my keyboard layout on
an extended keyboard.  Specifically what I would like to do is make the
right control key (just right of the space bar) be the backslash key (I work
in Tex all the time and this key is used constantly--my fingers are small
and it's difficult and awkward to reach the backslash with my pinky).

I really know nothing about programming (or very little), so I may have to
get someone else to do this for me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated through e-mail.

The latest version of ResEdit (1.2b3) has a great Keyboard/character
table editor. It's the only major improvement I have noticed. Did
I overlook something?
