Keyboard mapping

[exousia7]

Are there any good softwares out there that can remap keys on a keyboard? I want to use my Cherry keyboard but at the same time I want to have multimedia function keys on my keyboard. Is there anything I can do to remap keys on my Cherry board and make a "Fn" key with multimedia setup?

Hum, you can do a lot of awesome stuff with autohotkey, but not everything, and you'll need to learn their langage.

If you have not a huge lot of computer knowledge, it will be hard.

Wow this does seem pretty complicated....

Hotkeyz has media keys for Winamp, maybe those work for other players too?

Autohotkey really isn't that complicated, though. Most things that you want to do probably fall under the good ole programming law of looking it up because somebody else did it already, when it comes to AHK.

You can do a mapping to any of the standard multimedia keys. For you, that'd be something like:

$F10::Volume_Mute
$F11::Volume_Down
$F12::Volume_Up

...etc. for any of the F-keys and the standard multimedia commands. You can see the available list here.

You can also choose a modifier key to press along with the F-key (e.g. ctrl+F12 = volume up) or you can toggle the mapping with scroll lock in case you don't want to lose the original functionality of the F-keys.

tl;dr what exactly do you want, it'll be easy to make.
