On my MacBook Pro, I have the function keys set to their traditional roles instead of the new functions pictured on the keys. I do like being able to use the iTunes and volume controls though, which can be done by pressing the fn key along with F7 - F12 keys. The problem is that the fn key is too far from the function keys to be able to do this with one hand. If I could remap the right option key to fn, it would be a one-handed keystroke combination.

Thanks for the great program!

    I REALLY want this as well. In my case it is primarily so I can use the fn-up/down arrow combo to get page up/down (with one hand). On the old macbook pro DoubleCommand would remap the enter key to do this but the new ones have no enter key. For me a right option key is as useless as a enter key.

    I'll add my voice to this chorus - this is/was the primary reason to add this program to my old iBook. Definitely miss having that key act as a fn key.

    I'd like to see this happen, because it allows me to do PgUp/PgDn with one hand.
