Change WinXP keyboard capslock key to F3 (next) key?
Like half the world, I hate the capslock key so, long ago, I disabled it by
adding a new registry binary string as explained all over the net: http://www.mech.utah.edu/~bamberg/re.../CapsLock.html But like half the world, I use the "Find" and "Search" capability of "F3" (next), which requires me to look at the keyboard to figure out which is the F3 key (whereas the now-useless capslock key is right next to my pinkie). So, all I want to know is how to remap the capslock key to the F3 key. |

However, I _did_ find it irritating that it was so easy to hit it by mistake, without noticing that I'd done so. So I turned on toggle keys (it's in control panel under accessibility); that now makes a little tone whenever I change the state of any of the lock keys (different for on [high] and off [low]), so I know when I've hit it by mistake. I think this is a much-unknown feature, probably because it's tucked away there under Accessibility. -- J. P. Gilliver.

Try this: http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/ I installed sharpkeys into c:\test\apps\keyboard\sharpkeys which seemed to notice that I had already mapped the capslock key to nothing. http://i.cubeupload.com/rVFbAR.jpg Then I was able to map 00 3D to 00 3A but that didn't work. So I switched it around (which seemed illogical) but it worked! Thank you for that suggestion of using sharpkeys. Now my capslock key is the "next" key after a F3 search! |
