trying to have same keybindings on my MBP Penryl (OS X Leopard) as I had on my IBM laptop (Windows) to play wow but have some problem with left Alt key

I can not bind lets say Alt-A or Alt-S (wow gets it like just A or S) when I use left Alt key but I can do it when I use right Alt key...

Additionally I have found out that left Alt+A S D F G H J K L does not work with keybinding...it takes just A S D F G H J K L and right Alt works perfect with same combinations.

Left Alt binds with other keys without poblems except my mentioned combinations.



with external keyboard all these combinations works with no probs.


P.S. if I change function keys in Leopard system preferences then I have problem with physically same (originnaly left Alt) key of buildin laptop keyboard
 
I've always used left alt with no problems. You would be better off posting in the mac technical support forum on the WoW site.
 
If you don't use ctrl for anything, bind it to ctrl+A or S. F13 should also be free, I think, at least it was on my Alu Keyboard.
 
I can not post to US WoW forums I play in EU.

Problem is with build in keyboard as I told. ofc I started using Ctrl instead but this is not ok 100% for me
 
have reply on EU forums that I need to contact Apple since it is probably faulty laptop if I can not reproduse same with external keyboard connected. Sounds logical...


You're right, but they don't have a dedicated MAC technical forum like the US forums.
