Type code on it, productively.<p>Seriously though, where do you feel it's failing compared to other keyboards? As far as laptop keyboards go, it's one of the best I've used.
Someone else mentioned Keyremap4macbook (<a href="https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/" rel="nofollow">https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/</a>). There's a huge amount of customization there, enough that you should be good to go just by looking through the options there. My favorite is remapping Caps Lock to Left CTRL. Then you can remap Left CTRL to be escape by itself, and CTRL+<yourkey> when pressed with other keys. It's very handy in Vim, especially.<p>A couple other recommendations, however:<p>BetterTouchTool: The MBP trackpad has a surprising amount of complexity in terms of recognizing gestures. BTT adds to that . <a href="http://www.boastr.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.boastr.net</a><p>Keyboard Maestro: Scripting and advanced keyboard shortcuts. Includes support for per-app shortcuts, which is pretty phenomenal. <a href="http://www.keyboardmaestro.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.keyboardmaestro.com</a><p>TextExpander: Less practical when you're programming, but TE can be great for automating things you write often (email address, email responses, URLs, etc.) <a href="http://smilesoftware.com/TextExpander/" rel="nofollow">http://smilesoftware.com/TextExpander/</a>
Get <a href="https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/" rel="nofollow">https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/</a> , then pick the keys you need. I have my right side command and option as page up and page down, eject as (forward) delete, and PC style home/end on the arrow keys (I think that removes some inconsistencies between programs).<p>I had been using Windows for the previous 17 years or so, so I also switched control and command.
Use a different keyboard. Seriously, I've had to take mine in 3 times now because the keys keep breaking their hooks and flopping around. Right now my 6 key is feeling like it is about to go.
