First Alphagrip Hack!

Carl Anderson has remapped the keys of the Alphagrip using a free application called "Autohotkey".

Here are some images showing what the remapping looks like, and links to the INI file necessary to use this in AutoHotkey. The idea is to keep all the typing on the back keys, and put all the modifiers on the easily accessible top-front row. Carl's main problem stemmed from the fact that he uses modifiers such as ALT and CTRL often, and many keyboard shortcuts are difficult due to their default placement.

My question is: how do you get used to the new mapping when you look at your Alphagrip? Do you make stickers and put them on the keys, or do you just not look at the "grip" itself while you type?




Download the Alphagrip Autohotkey Remapping, Release 1 as a RAR file, or ZIP file
