Best app for keys remapping? (Windows)

[mougrim]

Anyone knows one - preferably, freeware and Windows 8 compatible?

[HoffmanMyster]

Well AutoHotKey works pretty well.  Or are you looking for something else with different features?

keytweak (not sure on win 8 compatibility) has been recommended by others in the past. (thanks to esoomenona who recommended it a long time ago)

AutoHotKey is pretty great. I'd recommend it in most cases. It's only downside is that it takes a little bit of time to learn. I've also used SharpKeys. I used it for a while when I only had one key I wanted to remap.

Thank you. I'll try this progs

I want to remap caps lock to act as control on my Model F.

I can vouch for both of these apps!

I tried keytweak on both my work Win 7 box and home Vista box.  It works well, but be careful that there's some malware that may be installed with it.  I may not have been careful when installing it and neglected to decline installing other 3rd party programs.

I used it for my Model M to map my right Alt to Windows Key.  Also, I mapped Scroll lock and Print Screen to Volume Up/Down, right CTRL to Mute.

AutoHotKey works for me many years

ye autohotkey is probably the best.

AHK is by far the best. You can range from super simple (<key>::<key> directly remaps a key) to more complex, such as full on logic for complex alt tab configurations. You can also do a whole messload of things your keyboard never could, such as setting windows to be always on top, removing borders, automatic resizing of windows, string replacement (autocorrect), and much more.
