key remapping
« on: Sat, 10 September 2011, 00:03:54 »
How would I go about remapping some of my useless keys like insert, scroll lock etc to more useful stuff like volume up/down and more media functions? I tried ahk but i dont like it cause it doesnt make changes of the o/s level. It just catches keystrokes. So what do you gguys think? This is ffor windows 7

Also is there something llike a usb media keypad that basically just hhas media control keys? I saw one on the forums some time ago but it was in the 70-80 price range. I'd like something dirty cheap. even if its a rubber dome board I'd be fine with that

Autohotkey is fine for most of users. For permanent uses you need a bit of knowledge in programming and specific OS API functions.

Even OS is catching keystrokes all the time, so you can't go deeper than that.

You can make a customized keymap, most media keys like next, previous, volume, play/pause etc. are assignable. Use MSKLC, or SharpKeys.
