I explained how some apps could change the function of the keyboard and in some cases add functionality to it. My personal favorite it AutoHotKey. There are others of course, but this one just happens to be my personal favorite. Not only do I use it to remap keys at times but I also use it to launch my favorite programs with a quick press of a hot key. For example windows+alt+w launches window-eyes windows+alt+n starts NVDA windows+shift+w start winamp and so on. It makes my life a lot faster. Another nice thing is once you got it setup the way you want you can simply compile the script and send it along to your friends. They don't even need to have AutoHotKey installed. Hth Note if you are looking for something simpler then a little scripting program that will do everything you want let me know and I will see what I can dig up. I did use another program for this function years ago. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+jgrimsby=roadrunner@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Rick Thomas via Talk Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2015 7:58 AM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: What Was The Name Of The software To Change Key Functions Hi: I remember a posting about a program that let one change the function of keys on a keyboard but couldn't find it in my list of deleted items folder in outlook under what I thought the subject line was. If you posted the message, or remember the name of the program that allows for changing keyboard functions for individual keystrokes could you post it up again? I did look at many, many messages in my outlook folder but just cant find that message.
