Geek Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/apple-wireless-keyboard-windows.jpg" alt="Apple Wireless Keyboard Helper for Windows" title="apple-wireless-keyboard-windows" width="300" height="394" class="alignright size-full wp-image-25491" /> The appropriately named “Apple Wireless Keyboard Helper” is a nice free Windows tool that restores many of the Windows-specific functions and keys that are seemingly lost when using an Apple keyboard, including the Delete key, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/13/print-screen-mac/">Print Screen</a>, CTRL+ALT+DEL, volume adjustment, function toggle, and more. </p> <p>After running the exe, function keys on an Apple keyboard will be assigned to the following Windows commands:</p> <ul> <li>F3: Print Screen (rather than <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/19/print-screen-boot-camp/">default</a>)</li> <li>F4: Task Manager</li> <li>F7-F9: iTunes control</li> <li>F10-F12: System volume Control</li> <li>Eject button toggles Fkeys/Functions.</li> <li>Fn + F key triggers function (useful when in F keys mode)</li> <li>Fn + Backspace = Delete</li> <li>Fn+ Eject: Eject CD</li> </ul> <p>Whether you use Boot Camp to run Windows on a Mac or just use an Apple Keyboard with a generic Windows PC, you’ll probably find this app useful. (Despite the name, the app works with Apple’s wireless keyboards in addition to Apple wired USB keyboards.)</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://applewirelesskbrd.codeplex.com/">Download AppleWirelessKeyboardHelper from Codeplex for free</a></li> </ul> <p>Nice find by <a href="http://applewirelesskbrd.codeplex.com/">Lifehacker</a> for anyone who switches regularly between the Mac and Windows worlds.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yInAIHVJucWH4ZFZK8GEjtwWIpg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yInAIHVJucWH4ZFZK8GEjtwWIpg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yInAIHVJucWH4ZFZK8GEjtwWIpg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yInAIHVJucWH4ZFZK8GEjtwWIpg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=3Vfhc0A0QhA:LwVsIkjEa4c:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/3Vfhc0A0QhA" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
