Keyboard Rebinding Software

[raKeto]

I was wondering if there is any good Software Alternative to a custom ATmega32u4 controller (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35065.0). Is there a way to remap the Windowsbutton, into a Fn key? Mainly for Multimedia Controlls on the F Keys.

I use Autohotkey the most for keyboard remapping. I'm pretty sure that it supports media keys and layers

I use Autohotkey for my custom layout. Particularly, I LOVE adding extra modifiers, to add extra layers so that I don't have to move my hands as much, but rather have everything (or as much as possible) within finger reach at the press of a particular modifier.

HOWEVER, I have NOT been able to remap the Fn key for my BlackWidow, or even use it as a modifier, because for some reason Autohotkey doesn't detect it (as far as Autohotkey is concerned, when you press it it sends no input). Apparently, (for some?) keyboards it operates at a level too for autohotkey to work with. I'm also interested in a workaround for this!

Hmm, it seems like there's a page that's dedicated to this, also using autohotkey:

Don't know if that works for BlackWidow though.

What extra modifiers do you use to make it easier for your hands? An example? I'm just curious.

FN key doesn't send out a scancode, so upstream computer won't be able to detect if you've pressed it.
