Button mapping utility?

[ookami007]

Is there any button mapping utility that will allow me to map one of the hardware buttons to a keystroke? Specifically, the ~ keyboard.

I was going to say, AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). But not according to the program's main page or screenshots (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus_sh.php).

mapping a button for a single keystroke is a little ridiculous. im not sure you're going to find any app that does this. it doesnt seem like anyone would waste their time making something like that when you have a built in keyboard with all the buttons. the fastest way to get a ~ symbol is to press Function and Q so you get the ' @ ', then press Function and Space to get turn @ into ~.

or, double press function, then press Q followed by Space

Incredible as it may seem, such a program exists, and better yet, its donateware.

Though it won't work on android, some of the Linux guys may be interested in talking to the developer to solve some of their problems with the hardware buttons.

You could write a very (and I do mean very) simple mortscript and assign it to a hardware button as well.

For example, here is the contents of a mortscript you could write

Sendkeys ~

That would be the whole script...one line. If you wanted to get fancier, you could have the script do the ~ only if you are in a certain app. Otherwise, it would retain the original function, but that would take a little more coding.

To answer the above question.... I can't use the Function Sym in the program I am using (Logmein), so I need to figure out something different.

The above program sounds good. Where can I find a list of keycodes, or what is the keycode for the ~?

Thanks!
