Alternate Keyboard help

[Drphroggy 7]

Hi!  I just downloaded and installed the NAM, and its working fine from what I can tell.  

I have one issue though: I play the game on a RAZER gaming laptop, and the keyboard does not have a HOME or END key, which are needed to rotate the NAM items.  Is there any alternative to these keys, or is there a way to remap them to some keys I do have?

Thanks!

Whatever remapping options you may have, would come from 3rd party tools, since there is no option in game. 

Usually most laptops do have these keys and a number pad, but it requires the use of a Fn + Key press to use them. Look on the right side of your keyboard. Otherwise someone in the Razer forums would probably know.

Drop this in your Plugins folder: Removed

Then in the game pressing the letter h will act as the Home Key and the letter e will act as the End Key. This also means the h will not put the Clinic on your cursor nor will the e change your cursor to High Density Industrial Zoning. You can still access those via the in game menus.

Edit: Turns out I didn't test this thoroughly. I had a building on the cursor and it did work. I just presumed that solved the problem. Turns out the override does not work with NAM pieces.

Well done, I forgot you could re-map the keys in one of the files.

Turns out to not be so well done.

I'd tested with a building on the cursor and those rotated fine with the key re-mapping, but it doesn't work with NAM puzzle pieces. I've removed the file above.

If I've read Razer's forums correctly the Home, End, P.up and P.Down are invoked using Fn+Left Arrow, Fn+Right Arrow, Fn+Up Arrow and Fn+Down Arrow respectively.

Thanks to everyone who helped me, or attempted to - whether successful or not I really appreciate the attention! 

I found a little freeware program that allows me to remap keys via a virtual keyboard, and I have got the home and end keys mapped to my square brackets keys.  It works great!  Now I just have to run to the pharmacy to get some aspirin to help with the headache of trying to actually USE all those NAM things without having a clue!

If I may humbly suggest, I have a beginners guide to using NAM series on YouTube. It explains the general concepts of using the NAM along with step by step examples of many of the most useful features.
