Panther numeric pad


Recommended Posts

I would like to change the key on the numeric pad "comma (,)" to a point (.)

because i'm working with a lot figures it would be very hand if can change that. I set my system to dutch belgian or other languages but it didn't help.

Does someone know it how to fix that for me :huh:

by the way i have OSX Panter 10.3.2 and its not compatible

Note: uControl version 1.4.2 is NOT compatible with Mac OS 10.2.x and will probably cause a kernel panic if installed.

i dont like it

Huh?? You say that you are running 10.3.2, but then you complain that uControl version 1.4.2 is not compatible with 10.2.x? Did you bother to notice that it IS compatible with 10.3.2? I think somewhere in there you misread something.

Quote from the above link:

Releases

uControl version : 1.4.2

Mac OS X version : 10.3.1, 10.3.2

binary : uControl1.4.2.dmg

source code : ucontrol1.4.2.tgz

Fixed the bug that wouldn't allow installation on 10.3.2, really this time. The dreaded bug where by settings were lost after sleep/logout/reboot/etc has been fixed. Modifier key to fn key remapping has been resurrected. Sean Gies contributed the inverted scrolling option for Scroll Wheel Emulation. Fast User Switching is now supported (Thanks to Alex Harper for the jump start code wise). Adam Megacz did the hard work porting uControl to 10.3, Panther.

Note: uControl version 1.4.2 is NOT compatible with Mac OS 10.2.x and will probably cause a kernel panic if installed.

Tried it but i have noticed i dont have root acces, so i cant install the app. I would like to do the trick without installing anything, are there some registery tricks like in windows so i can make the switch from comma to point.

Well I'm from the UK and have the standard Apple Pro Keyboard set to English UK, and my "," key works as a "." like it's supposed to over here, but I just set my Language to US and the key still works as a "." :s What language are you using?

OS X doesn't have a registry or anything like it, so no, no tricks like that are available. You pretty much HAVE to install software hacks like this to do what you are wanting to do.

but we do have preferences with un documented settings so between "defaults write com.apple.whatever" and using the property list editor you can unlock all sorts of cool features. TinkerTool works exactly this way as do many other programs. Haxies are another matter entirely.

It's not a monolythic registry - they're XML formated text files in the library, but the end result is the same.

Technically you're right: they aren't registry tweaks but there are 'work alikes' and i think that's all that matters.
