How to remap “Context Menu” key in Mac OS X

keykeyboardremapshortcut

I have a Logitech keyboard (Ultra-Flat Keyboard Dark Shine to be exact), which has the context menu key in the middle of the windows and alt key, which is quite annoying.

Here's a screenshot of where the key is:

I can remap the windows and alt keys under the default Keyboard System Preferences Panel, but there doesn't seem to be a way to remap the context menu key.

Any ideas?

Use KeyRemap4MacBook (Karabiner for osx 10.9, 10.10). As Mecki pointed out, XML .keylayouts / Ukelele can't solve your problem.

In spite of the name, KeyRemap4MacBook works on any Mac (OS X 10.4 or later).

The settings you want are under "For PC Users" » "Change PC Application Key".

map.put(key, map.get(key) + 1);

should be fine. It will update the value for the existing mapping. Note that this uses auto-boxing. With the help of map.get(key) we get the value of corresponding key, then you can update with your requirement. Here I am updating to increment value by 1.
