Does OS X have any sort of "built-in" capability to make/map different keys on the keyboard for certain characters? For example, I have a person who is getting a "Z" each time he presses "W"? He has no access and can't get 3rd party tools to accomplish this (if any exist); however, if there is anything that comes with the OS as default, could somebody enlighten me please?

Thanks.

Nothing? Anybody? How else could something like this happen?

Check and make sure your keyboard isn't using a different Internation al layout - check the input menu of the International System Pref. Also try a different keyboard... to make sure it's not a hardware problem.

there are ways to do a custom keyboard layout in OS X ... but you really don't wanna know how (you have to actually edit an existing layout, very painful process).

Anyway, vendors [sometimes] provide custom layouts for their keyboards, take logitech for example.
other don't (take M$ for one).

is your friend using any drivers for the keyb ? is it apple ?
