Hi all,

Apple's bluetooth-powered wireless keyboard is awesome, but it's hard to use with Windows out of the box. I first found the AutoHotkey forums when looking for information on getting its "fn" key to work, to enable forward delete, home, page up, volume and media controls, etc. Building on the previous work of forum members Veil and Micha, I'm proud to announce an AutoHotkey-based utility with a standalone installer, which I've dubbed Unofficial Apple Wireless Keyboard Support (UAWKS). My primary goal is to provide something my mom could use, but a source package is also available if you're an AutoHotkey hacker. If you're using the AWK on windows, check it out!

cool, can u format the code and bring some examples in your main post?
the forums can act like a mirror for that links..

Hello Brian and all,

I am much grateful for the UAWKS utility.

However, working on a Scandinavian (Danish) keyboard I need an untampered Alt Gr key in order to write common characters as @£${[]}\
I have looked through the code you supply, but I can't figure out how to disable the Alt Gr reasssignment. Can someone help me here?

Thanks,
Erik

Hi all - any pointers to getting this working?

I had Auto Hotkey already installed and was using another script for the Apple keyboard which is working nicely on my Sony Vaio.

It seems to install OK, but the only key function which seems to work is Ctrl-alt-delete.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ben

Fixed - installing the source version corrected the problem.

Nice work Brian!

Hello,

I'm not that good with code, but I've been trying to find a way to map my Apple Wireless Keyboard's FN key to my laptops FN key. This is because on my laptop, I use the FN key with my F1-F12 keys to perform other operations (i.e. FN+F1 locks my computer, FN+F5 turns off Wi-Fi) and I would like to do the same on my new keyboard.

Is this possible? I've been searching and I haven't seemed to find a simple answer.
