Keyboard problem

Post by superstar1998 » June 1st, 2015, 7:36 am

Hello guys
I have a problem with my keyboard: the numbers above the letters, letter p and backspace don't work. I read about it and it seems to be a problem in the manufacturing of the laptop, but i can't send it to be repaired untill the end of the month.
The question is, do you know any program which could assign a key to another one which i don't use?
I really need something like that, but i can't find anything.

Sorry for late reply but you could always trust on Windows On-Screen Keyboard if your keyboard fails to function. Just search for 'On-Screen Keyboard' and it should pop up in the results.
Hope I helped!

Some but not all games have dedicated warkeys like DOTA. See if the game you play have one, then may be you can assign the required keys to some other key!

I have assigned them other keys, but the problem is that i can't use some keys when programming. Temporarly solved this problem with a mouse with extra buttons

Hello.
the simplest solution i can think of is using AHK (auto hot key)(just google it).
the ahk language is VERY simple (but also very limited)
you just write the code in a simple notepad, then run it with AHK.

to rebind keys, simply use this code
a::b
this will reassign your "a" key to "b"

edit:
i guess i could just spare you the trouble of finding the names of keys, so if you are looking for useless keys:
LWIn::Backspace
this would rebind your left windows key to backspace, and then
CapsLock::p
this would rebind caps lock to "p" (since caps lock is only for angry 12 year olds anyways)
