I have a PC keyboard with DoubleCommand set to "Command key acts as Option key" and "Option key acts as Command key" checked. When I try to use the left "Windows" key (the key between "Ctrl" and "Alt" on the PC keyboard, which has a Windows icon on it) as the option key in OS X, it acts as expected—for example, if I click and hold on an active application icon in the dock, "Quit" in the contextual menu changes to "Force Quit", as it should—with one exception: holding down that key while restarting should bring up the menu that allows one to choose among the possible boot disks upon rebooting, but it does not do so. Does anyone know if DoubleCommand will allow this option to be chosen? And if it will, what setting(s) should I use?

  Duh! Never mind; it should have occurred to me that since DoubleCommand is not active until boot-up, my question is irrelevant. Mea culpa.
