Looking for a quick way to customize your keyboard, look no further than the Key Remapper. Some edit the scan codes in the registry and don’t need to stay running, others need to stay running in the background. Here’s a selection of tools that can remap keyboard keys to other keys. Scan codes can be edited in the system registry to map one key to another but editing the registry manually is tricky. When you press a key on the keyboard it sends a “scan code” to tell Windows what has been pressed. More advanced users could turn to software such as a Macro tool which can help you remap keys on a keyboard or even perform more complicated tasks for you, or run a shortcut/hotkey utility. Whether it’s disabling the key or making it perform another action. In all those situations, a simple solution would be to change the keyboard keys to do something else. Or, there might be a key on your keyboard you never seem to use or need. Maybe there’s keys you keep hitting by mistake such as Caps Lock, or would just like a certain key to be in a more convenient location. Although it’s not a terrible problem if the keypress still registers without the key, it is quite difficult if a common key doesn’t work at all.

I've used SharpKeys and the Microsoft KLC tool in the past, after many, many failed attempts, they're quite reliable. But it randomly stopped working and would behave as if I had the super key pressed all the time. > The first approach I'd found, using the remap function of PowerToys kinda worked. Oh, so just like Linux stuff? :-p The double standards are real :-D > Because they're basically undiscoverable and require hours of googling. Think working with someone else or helping relatives, etc. I also want to have it on the left side, too.īIG WARNING if you do this! I've done it in the past and using other computers will just break your brain. But I don't want that, I want the key next to it to be alt-gr.

The closest I've found was using alt-gr for level 3. I'm familiar with this, but I didn't find a way of remapping the alt/win keys with it.
