Hi,

I would like to know how I may change the keyboard modifier keys using command line. The normal way is to go to System Preferences>Keyboard...>Modifier keys and change the key mappings. I assume that I could do this using "defaults" and am almost sure that the domain should be com.apple.universalaccess. In order to find out the key/value mapping, I did:

Code:
$ defaults read com.apple.universalaccess
But the output is as simple as

Code:
{ "com.apple.custommenu.apps" = ( ); }
Can anyone give me some hints?

Thanks.
