For Mac OS X, QWERTY, for Other People to Use
the one is designed for people who need to type QWERTY on my keyboard and for Mac OS X.
The ⌘ command key is the key labeled LGUI.
the {F13, F14} is designed for some most frequently used commands. For example, switch to browser, switch to previous window/app, switch to previous/next tab, copy and paste, to be mapped via operating system.
(some keys may not be the same as in the picture on this page.) ( 2014-05-12 Thanks to LuminousMonkey https://twitter.com/LuminousMonkey )
Menu Key Problem on Mac Os X
On Mac, PC keyboard's ▤ Menu will type Ctrl+p instead.
You can fix it OS-wide by using PCKeyboardHack. See: Mac Keyboard Software Guide .
You can fix it in emacs by:
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "C-p") (kbd "<menu>")) ; Mac OS X don't do menu key. or use PCKeyboardHack http://xahlee.info/kbd/Mac_OS_X_keymapping_keybinding_tools.html
