Keyboard Customizer on an IBM Thinkpad
I was blogging the other day and in the middle of writing the article, I hit the browser back button on my IBM Thinkpad Laptop and I lost the page. However it wasn’t all bad because I am using wordpress 2.1 which auto saves my drafts and I only lost a few sentences. I wanted to know if there was a way to turn it off or change it so I went onto IBM’s website and found an application that allows for that. Keyboard Customizer allows me to change the way my keyboard functions to fit my needs. I would highly recommend this application for anyone who has an IBM laptop.
ThinkPad Keyboard Customizer Utility enables predefined assignments for:
- A Windows key and an Application key on the ThinkPad keyboard.
- Audio volume control buttons, mute button, ThinkPad button/Access IBM button, Suspend/Hibernate, Wireless Radio Control, EasyEject, Full Screen Magnifier, and Presentation Director on the external keyboard.
If you click on “Key Sensitivity”, you can enable Browser Keys or adjust the sensitivity for the pressing of the keys.
The following ThinkPad models support the Keyboard Customizer:
* ThinkPad A20m, A20p, A21e, A21m, A21p, A22m, A22p, A22e
