REMAP KEYBOARD PC DRIVER
Properties show it has 2 driver files: kbdclass.sys and kbdhid.sys, which I suppose are some standard drivers.
REMAP KEYBOARD PC SOFTWARE
Some OS level software caused a change that was able to be reflected on the bios? Did it affect the keyboard driver? A driver that both windows and the motherboard bios use?ĭevice Manager claims my Keyboard has 3 instances of "HID Keyboard device". I didn't even think this sort of thing was possible. My firmware/bios has a password and guess what I found when I tried inputting it: the keys were still remapped.Īt this point I am at a complete loss. I have a Linux installation on another drive and I just happened to want to load it up after my last Windows blue screen (have gotten a couple of those lately, literally 2 in the space of 2 days and this had maybe only ever happened once before, like 2 years ago, so I am a already concerned about a possible deeper issue). I don't want to seem dramatic but I just discovered something else a few minutes ago. I think something more serious and possibly nefarious may have occurred. In other words, my current solution felt good enough. Honestly a minor annoyance, but due to the world changing very quickly I lately have very few precious minutes that I can actually sit down on my desktop, whereas I used to be able to spend hours on this type of computer issue in order to get to the bottom of it. This works as expected and I literally forget about it until any time I have to reboot. I search on the web for say 1 hour before I give up for the time being and I end up activating the script again in order to write normally.

I do not know that much about how Windows works, but my vague recollection is that registry bindings is something is active once the OS is active. Huh? Did AHK mess with some registry bindings or something? I rebooted only to find that on my Windows login screen my keys continue to be remapped. Was there some background process running? Maybe. Lo and behold: when I stop the script, the keys continue to be remapped. The game I play is real time so getting a even a 5 second interruption while in a match would mean certain loss, so I decided to just disable the script and uninstall. Which was only a little annoying, so I ignored it the first few times. Got an annoying pop up after playing the game for a bit from AutoHotKey saying "you've pressed mapped keys 600 times" or something like that.

REMAP KEYBOARD PC INSTALL
Script syntax is simple enough, just used an example that comes with the install files. My remapping was simple enough: change the AWSD keys for the LEFT-UP-DOWN-RIGHT keys. Maybe overkill (now I know it certainly was overkill) but let's just see how it works. chm file in the download which states in the first line of Usage & Syntax/Using the program:ĪutoHotkey doesn't do anything on its own it needs a script to tell it what to do. Was not really sure of how it worked but found the. It seemed simple/attractive enough at first. Recently installed AutoHotKey to remap some keys in order to play a video game.
