Has anyone noticed a problem with any one, or all, of the
control-alt-end keys on an ibook? I have used VPC for years, going back
to their original version. On my G4 tower, or previous machines, I
never had a problem with a standard keyboard using these keys. However,
on a new ibook I have, a proprietary remote access application my
company uses will not recognize the ctrl-alt-end command to allow me to
log in. I set up a new end key, in the keyboard controls within VPC,
and it doesn't work, so I am AssSUME'ng it is either the ctrl or the
alt key thats not being recognized. Anyone have any ideas? I am on VPC
7.0.2 and 10.4.3 on a 12 inch G4 133 ibook.

There are a couple of keyboard tips at:

Try Control + Option instead of just Control (tip from Iris on this forum)
