You can also check the changes simultaneously. While it lacks a virtual keyboard, it allows you to change the keys smoothly. Caps Lock acted as Ctrl most of the time, but not when used with the X key. Sharpkeys software is a very easy tool for remapping keys.

Is there any other way? Or, if filter driver is the only way, isn't there a pre-made one that is already signed? I mean, all I want to do is remapping keys, so the pre-made driver could read remapping configuration from an '.ini' file. I used the registry 'Scancode Map' key for years, including on Windows 10, but one day it stopped working for Ctrl-X. I have never created a Windows device driver, and doesn't a device driver require digital signing from Microsoft? I remember that I had to put Windows into a weird test mode at the boot to load some unsigned driver. I don't want to remap the num1 key of my main keyboard, but only the num1 key of the separate keypad.Īfter some web searching, it seems that one method is creating a 'custom keyboard filter driver', but that seems a hard work. There are cheap keypads, and key remap software like SharpKeys, but the problem is, as far as I know, the same remapping is applied to all keyboards. AutoHotkey is a free, open-source scripting language for Windows that allows users to easily create small to complex scripts for all kinds of tasks such as: form fillers, auto-clicking, macros, etc. Can expand abbreviations as you type them (AutoText).

My life would be a lot easier if I could just press a single key for shortcuts. Supports hotkeys for keyboard, mouse, and joystick. Currently I have to use a lot of awkward key combinations for shortcuts like Shift+ F6 to rename a variable or Alt+ Shift+ F to format a document.
