1. Download my "KeyDowner" stack:
http://mathewson.110mb.com/FILEZ/KEYDOWNER.rev.zip
play around with it on Mac and Win.
2. The only 'problem' as far as I recall is that on a Mac the COMMAND key
(with a stylised apple on it) does the work of the CONTROL key in
Windows.
So DON'T have settings for both COMMAND and CONTROL keys.
