Just sent this at Apple through their crash reporter thingy:

Tried to make the Enter key on my Late 2001 Dual USB iBook behave as an Option key, using this website; http://www.snark.de/index.cgi/0007. Upon trying to unload the ADB Keyboard Kernel Extension, I got me a kernel panic. The instructions on that website used to work under 10.4.2, but I have not been able to get them to work since I upgraded to 10.4.3.

Please consider implementing remapping of the Enter key on all your laptop models; it is far less useful than an extra Option key would be. The ability to choose between the two in the Modifier Keys... section of the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane would be most welcome.

And here's the kernel panic report, for those who understand such things:

Anyone got any ideas as to how to make those instructions work in 10.4.3?

You do realize that the Return and Enter keys do different things, right? Admittedly, few programs differentiate between them, but I am glad to have it around.

I do, yes. I used to use Enter a lot in iTunes, to rename songs, back when I first got my iBook and didn't have an internet connection.

In 10.3 I used uControl to make this change and in 10.4 I used the instructions on that website above. I would like to get it back but it is no huge problem if Apple have made it impossible now.
