Feb 01, 2012 The alt key does work like the option key. It appears that those keys are not understood to be remapped (or mapped at all in this case) until after the OS loads. It seems that without an Apple keyboard this is not possible (unless you're lucky enough to have a windows keyboard that Apple understands the windows key as the command key).
