Short version: I want to turn one of my option keys into an enter key.
Long version: I just got a shiny new Macbook. My old iBook had an Enter key just to the left of the arrow keys and I used it constantly (to send messages in AIM). The Macbook doesn't have an Enter key, and I hate having to either a) set AIM to accept "return" as a message-send command (since then I can't have linebreaks in my messages), b) hit fn-return to send a message, or c) (heaven forfend) use the mouse and click the actual send button. I really want to re-map the right option key (just the right one, not the left one) to be an Enter key. It is exactly where I would want it. However, none of the key-remapping software seems willing to a) remap just one of any paired key, and b) make the option key do anything different at all, even if I were willing to switch both of them. Any ideas, or is this a hopeless quest? (If there is a solution that involves any hardware fussing that I can't do myself or make the Geniuses at the Apple Store do for me free, that counts as hopeless.)
