TL;DR
Press= and Scroll Lock together while in a pc master mode to make Scroll Lock the Macintosh Power Key.
Motivation
I normally use non-windows pc mode (=p) for my kinesis. Now that I'm on a mac I need a Command key, so I switched to windows pc mode. Windows pc mode only changes one thumb key relative to non-pc mode, the right alt becomes a Command/Windows key. Mac mode remaps all the alt and control locations and produces two Command/Windows keys.I rarely need the power button, so I hadn't bothered to figure this out. But now I want to be able to suspend/power my laptop without opening it and waiting on graphic layout as the system switches to multi-monitor mode.
How-to
It's a simple matter to pull thePower Key binding from mac (=m) mode into any of the other modes. Press = "Scroll Lock" to copy the binding from default into current. The tricky part was finding the original binding.
- Kinesis advantage supports three master settings: macintosh (
=m), non-windows pc(=p) and windows pc(=w). - macintosh mode (
= m) is the default mode. - macintosh mode maps
Scroll LocktoPower Key - Any key that is mapped by a master setting can be individually remapped using the
=key in the number row (top left, aboveTab).
