Day with the Mac the second. Mouse still accelerating but i found out that there is a application that hooks into the HID thingy and repositions the mouse. Too hackish imho, i will live with the acceleration.

But the keyboard layout still kills me. Who ever created the German keyboard layout should be waterboarded. The situation is not a problem for english keyboards i suppose, there you don’t have an alt gr key which can get lost from windows/linux to mac os x :) The best solution i found so far is changing the alt mappings to the windows alt gr mappings using a custom keyboard layout created with ukelele and map the return key to alt using doublecommand. This doesn’t give the best feeling but i can live with it for the moment. Later i guess i will use an US layout for development in os x.

So please dear apple guys: either remove the goddamn limitation that the right apple key is linked to the left one or add an alt gr key for future macbooks. The current keyboard situation is just crap.
