I agree - I always hit the eject key when I want to push delete. Mind you, I usually keep my drive empty, so it's not as much as an issue to me!  |

Okay - had a look at this Apple page; on ejecting:
Quote:
7) How do I disable the Eject Key?
There is currently no supported way to disable the Eject Key. You can however, prevent any new inserted media from being mounted. See the section: "How do I prevent new media (e.g. CDs, DVDs, iPods, USB/Firewire hard drives, etc.) from becoming mounted?" for more details
|
Sorry to spoil the fun! You could break it off and use the menu extra instead if you were desperate. |

Interesting, I've never accidentally hit my eject key before, and anyway - you kind of have to hold it down for a bit before it does it's thing right...?
Are you hitting, and accidentally holding it down until it ejects your drive?
Casey.

On a macbook pro you click it just like any other key when typing and it ejects! unlike my iBook. for them you need to hold it down

I would also love an App for this. I don't really hit my eject key often (MB Keyboard) but would like a function so you have to hold it.

Creat a custom keyboard layout that is tha same as the normal apple one for your KB, but without the eject key (i.e. leave your eject key input unmapped)
Unfortunatly I don't know how to do this in OSX but try your friend google, there's probably shareware apps ("utilities") out there that will do it.

Think Different.
Think Simple.
Got a strip of blue-tac?
When book is "off" wrap the eject key in a thick layer of blue-tac. Your fingers and / or eyes will keep away from the distracting colour / texture of the key.
