Emulating the right Ctrl key on MacBook Pro keyboard lacking an actual right Ctrl key

I need to use the right Ctrl key in a certain application, but my keyboard doesn't have one.

The left Ctrl key has an entirely different function in this case. How can I emulate the right Ctrl key, for example by pressing the right Alt button?

I tried the “Right Option acts as Control” feature of DoubleCommand, but sadly, that causes the right Alt key to emulate the left Ctrl key instead of the right Ctrl. Aaargh!

Any ideas?


Solution 1:

I found the solution: Karabiner has an Option_R to Control_R feature

Solution 2:

Control + Option worked for me. Here's what you can do.

  • Go to Keyboard Preferences on your mac
  • Check the box that says :

    Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
    

OR

  • Else You have to Press Fn + Control + Option every time.
