Well, the keystroke to change the key assignment is not control plus a. It is control plus h. The above is true in theory; however, as I try to use it, whether by keypress or from the menu, I find it is "unavailable."

Cc: Negoslav Sabev Subject: Re: How to Get an "Applications Key" on a Lenovo Laptop? Hi, Here is a very easy way to remap the print screen key on Lenovo with JFW. 1. Press insert+8 on the number row from anywhere. JFW keyboard manager will open. 2. Press ctrl+alt+d to load the default .jkm file. You should hear that the default file is loaded. 3. Be sure that you are on the default section by pressing insert+ up arrow. 4. tab once to enter the list of script key assignments. 5. Find "SendApplicationKey" by pressing the first few letters. 6. Press alt+h to open the dialog for changing the key assignment. 7. press the print screen key to assign it. 8. Press tab to go to ok and enter to confirm it. 9. Press ctrl+s to save and alt+f4 to close. HTH Negoslav On 8/21/15, Ed Marquette via Jfw <[email protected]> wrote: > This depends on which Lenovo model you are using.
