AutoHotKey Script for Fn Key to Menu Key?

[Bludude4]

Okay, so I downloaded AutoHotKey for the sole purpose of remapping the Fn key to be the Menu key, because I need Menu more than I need media control or Windows lock.  But, it doesn't seem like that's how the script works, at least not on a basic level.  So does anyone have a copypasta where the script DOES work to turn Fn into Menu?

I think most FNs don't produce a scan code.  You could try the method listed in the special keys section here:

But if it doesn't generate a SC#, you're out of luck.

You're trying on a QFR, right? 99% sure that doesn't send a scancode as far as the host. Will confirm for you in 1 sec.

QFR, yep.

Nope, no scancode comes through, so your PC (and therefore AHK) has no idea a key has even been pressed. You could try mapping alt+win to menu, or looking into an alternate controller. Bpiphany has a drop-in replacement that allows you to remap and customize scancodes at the keyboard level.

What's the script that would remap ctrl and win to menu?

LControl & LWin::Send {AppsKey}

I don't use AHK, but give this a try:

Code: [Select]

^#::Send {AppsKey}

I ran trizkut's code and it worked. Thanks, all.
