Thanks for BTT! I’ve been using it since 2016! I recently got a new Macbook, and I’ve discovered a problem I think BTT can fix but I’ve been unable to figure out how. I have two external keyboards, one home and one work, and they are the same ergonomic model. No matter what I do, however, there’s a difference between them that’s new with this new Macbook (and I’ve had 4 or 5 previously that didn’t do this): the cmd and opt keys are reversed! I’ve had to manually go in to keyboard settings and change the mapping every time I move the computer (5 days/week…). So can I create a BTT shortcut (say, cmd+opt+ctr+shift+h for home) that would swap cmd and opt (both left and right)? And then another (…+w for work) that would swap them again? Many thanks, Aaron
Heard. Actually the problem is that macOS is indeed remembering… yet there’s some glitch perhaps in the keyboard itself that’s never manifested before. From what I could see digging in a little bit, both keyboards are exactly the same (and macOS sees them as the same), as they are the same model, just in different physical locations. Yet no matter what I do, the cmd and opt keys are reversed every time I change locations (I truly thought it was something I was doing, but I tested and checked for weeks). So I’m going to try this with the shortcuts as you’ve kindly shown me in BTT, and I’ll report back after testing for a few days. A shortcut like this will at least be better than what I had to do previously: Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Modifier Keys → Select Keyboard → change opt to cmd, change cmd to opt, done, close. Not counting scrolling, that’s nine clicks!
Thank you!
Aaron
