Thank you for all the tips, I will definitely be playing around with vm this weekend. I have downloaded both Key Remapper and Sharp Keys and remapped several keys and the keys that I've mapped are working flawlessly. Just another question though, do I still need to remap the arrow keys? I thought these keys are universal?
