When I switched to an unused input (not currently connected to a powered computer) and back it didn’t always work right. Note, in my testing I had to switch to an input that was active (i.e. It isn’t until you switch from some other computer to the MacBook that it realizes “oh, hey, I’m connected to a MacBook so I’ll switch to Mac mode” and make the CMD key combos work right.īut that’s just a guess on my part, the important thing is if you are having the same issue, just switch the keyboard input to a different computer then back to the MacBook via the 1, 2, 3 buttons and the CMD key combinations should start working. I started by just remapping the command key (its the windows key in windows) to the more useful control key. I posted the code to my blog too.Basically I want to get all of my command shortcuts to work in OSX. I’m guessing the K850 must power up in some default state in which it doesn’t realize it is in “Mac” mode. OSX style command keys in Windows - posted in Scripts and Functions: Thought this might be useful to some people. Once the keyboard was connected to another machine, I could return to my MacBook and find that the CMD keys worked like they were supposed to. The fix turned out to be fairly simple, what I needed to do is switch the input to another computer (using the 1, 2, 3 buttons). I’d go to do something and find my often used command key combos (CMD+C, etc) would not work. This seemed to occur when I first powered up my MacBook. It has three buttons labeled 1, 2, and 3 that will switch the input to a different computer.

However, when I press those keys directly on my MacBook Pro they worked fine.įor those unfamiliar with it, the Logitech K850 will let you bluetooth connect to three different computers.

Since upgrading to MacOS Monterrey I’ve had an issue where some of the basic command key combos, such as CMD+X, CMD+V, CMD+C, and more were not working from my Logitech K850 keyboard. Earlier this year I did a blog post, Working From Home – Permanently, in which I recommend using a good keyboard especially when you have multiple computers.
