Using PCKeyboardHack on Maverick(OSX 10.9)

[cnberg]

1. install PCKeyboardHack for 10.8
2. reboot
3. sudo vim /Applications/PCKeyboardHack.app/Contents/Library/scripts/kext.sh (using the 10.8 kext on 10.9, see below)
4. restart, All mine remappings are working. Good luck.

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin; export PATH

basedir="/Applications/PCKeyboardHack.app/Contents/Library"
kextfile=''
uname=`uname -r`
case "${uname%%.*}" in
    11)
        kextfile="$basedir/PCKeyboardHack.10.7.kext"
        ;;
    12)
        kextfile="$basedir/PCKeyboardHack.10.8.kext"
        ;;
    13)
        kextfile="$basedir/PCKeyboardHack.10.8.kext"
        ;;
esac

if [ "x$kextfile" == 'x' ]; then
    exit 1
fi

if [ "$1" == 'unload' ]; then
    kextunload -b org.pqrs.driver.PCKeyboardHack
else
    kextload "$kextfile"
fi

exit 0

Thanks for the temporary fix. 👍 It was getting annoying typing things in all caps in Vim.

This workaround is no longer working in Mavericks for me. Can anybody else confirm?

[notjosh]

@smithjw it's working a-okay for me. Did it stop working for you after a DP update, or a fresh 10.9 install/upgrade?

[smithjw]

After an update I think. I'm running the latest developer preview. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, then re-editing the kext but no luck.

[smithjw]

Ok, so I managed to get 10.9 DP5 to work by setting PCKeyboardHack to use the 10.7 kext rather than the 10.8 one. No idea why that worked and 10.8 didn't like in previous Developer Previews. Hope this helps someone else in my position until Mavericks is released and we get a fully functional, non jacky version of PCKeyboardHack.

Keep up the great work @tekezo

For me, the 10.8 kext is working fine on 10.9 DP5 on both my MacBook Air and my hackintosh ;)

+1 works for me.

Yup, the 10.8 kext still works fine on 10.9 GM.
