How to re-map command and option keys on Mac OS X with a PC-keyboard?

Solution 1:

The answer was as easy as this:

• Click the Apple logo in the top left of your screen
• Select "System Preferences"
• Select "Keyboard"
• Make sure the "Keyboard" "tab" is selected
• Select the "Modifier Keys..." button in the bottom right of the window
• Select keyboard: "USB Keyboard" (probably - if you're like me, you're trying to configure a keyboard that's plugged in to your laptop)
• Switch the "Option" and "Command" values

Solution 2:

DoubleCommand can remap keys, you just need to know the Mac keyboard equivalents on your keyboard:

DoubleCommand is free and open source
