You can remap the key with autohotkeys (macro scripting) or try 3rd party software ( http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/remap-keyboard-free-tools-windows/ )

Why not make a keyboard shortcut like "control-alt-G" or "control-alt-H" ?

Create the shortcut, right-click on it, choose "properties" and select "shortcut key"

I used to like single dedicated buttons, but, after all, I do have multiple hands and even more multiple fingers, so it is instantaneous even if 3 fingers are involved.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

Install Autohotkey and put this script in your startup:

Code: [Select]
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
#Warn  ; Recommended for catching common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Home::
  Run http://www.geekhack.org/
return
