Is there a way to make XP on VB keyboard the same as my Mac?
This may have been covered but my search finds nothing. Is there a way to make XP keyboard on VB 3.1.2 operate the same as my Mac keyboard? Particularly the hot keys like, Command+C instead of Control+C.

The app KeyRemap4MacBook has been working for me (SL 10.6.2) to remap Command to Control in my XP VM.
The setting to use is the ones that have "only in virtual machine, RDC"
e.g. remap Command_L to Control_L (only in virtual machine, RDC)

You can use RemapKey.exe (freeware) to remap the keyboard in the XP VM.
I usually swap the Command and Control keys and map the Windows key to Control, which makes the VM operate much more like Windows.
