But after checkiing i have seen that not all keys are maped (like for example RIGHT-MOUSE-MENU-KEY) witch is verry imprtant for keyboard navigation witout mouse.. Also even when most keys are maped somhow they are not where you would like them to be and you have to use very complicated combinations witch makes navigation harder as usual. BUT AFTER MONTHES OF SEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION !!!!! Small App called MapKeyboard Here is the Link --> http://www.inchwest.com/mapkeyboard.aspx I'm shure that this will be a greate help for everybody withe this Problem !!! After remaping my Keys in Bootcamp i have everything wehere i want it to be :) Put DEL --> F12 Print screen --> F11 RightMouseMenu --> small Enter (between right Apple and Left Arrow Key) AltGr --> Right Apple and switch Left Apple with Left Alt This is almost the usual Windows Keyset exept the F-Keys But of course every one can find his way and Keymap !!! I hope that not everybody will have to search for a solution as long as i did... Have FUNN !!!! By This is Interesting..

Put
DEL –> F12
Print screen –> F11
RightMouseMenu –> small Enter
(between right Apple and Left Arrow Key)
AltGr –> Right Apple

and switch

Left Apple with Left Alt

This is almost the usual Windows Keyset exept the F-Keys
But of course every one can find his way and Keymap !!!

I hope that not everybody will have to
search for a solution as long as i did…

Have FUNN !!!!

Links good now. Tried it out on my iMac with a standard Apple Pro Keyboard to see how it would fare... Couple of minor hiccups: The keys left of 1 and Z seem to be transposed. And the = key on the keypad seems to be sending a carriage return. Apart from that, its all good! Many thanks, J. Ah ha! Links good now.
