There is a way to remap the VO keys using two applications--PC Keyboard Hack and Key Remap for Macbook. I don't seem to have the instructions, but I believe they should be in the list archives. I believe it was discussed on this list, though I am on two lists and may have obtained the info from the other one. I had thought I had saved the instructions, but after following them, I seem to have deleted the email.

Hi Matt and Jim, Thanks for the welcome. I guess I'll have to get use to the VO keys being only in that position. as for the gestures, it will take abit of learning but I'll get there eventually. Thanks for the replies.

Hi Zameer! I thought the same thing about the awkwardness of the control key--there just being one when I first got my macbook. Now I never even give it a thought. If you have a trackpad you can do so many of the commands there that used to require vo keys. Turn it on and give it a try.
