Is there any way to remap the enter key next to the arrows on my new 12"?? It's driving me nuts, not only do i have absoluetly no need for an enter key down there, but i could REALLY use a ctrl key right there. It would make control clicking with the trackpad a one hand task rather than having to use my left hand for the ctrl and my right hand for the click.

can anyone/anything solve this problem?

DoubleCommand works great, if you don't mind using the command line. Find it on Versiontracker.
Actual conversation between UCLA and Stanford during a login on early Internet - U: I'm going to type an L! Did you get an L? S: I got one-one-four. L! U:Did you get the O? S: One-one-seven. U: <types G> S: The computer just crashed.

ucontrol gave me a kernel panic when I restarted my computer.

doublecommand works great and it was easy to set up.

thanks both of you for the suggestions. It's nice to know i'm not the only one that thinks apple should change their keyboard layout.

Ok I think that I am missing something. How can I remap the enter key to be a forward delete. I don't want to change anything else. Thanks
