Coding Snacks / Re: re-map capslock function
« on: July 05, 2013, 08:52 AM »
Thanks Mouser.

In another post I found a link for remapkey.exe, which apparently does the same thing as sharpkeys.

The limitation for these programs is that they use a registry tweak to set the function of a single key.  Neither allows one to map shifted keys (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+Windows F1) to a new function.  I’d be dead in the water without autohotkey’s ability to map shift-key functions.

Using remapkey.exe, I mapped Capslock to Shift, and the right whatever-it-is (the list button next to RWin) to Caplock.

I use rwin as the hotkey trigger for for RunAndHide, so that other weird windows key was the last unused key on my keyboard.

But I would still rather use Ctrl-Capslock to toggle the capslock function.

Coding Snacks / re-map capslock function
« on: July 05, 2013, 07:38 AM »
I’m a thumb-fingered typist, so I keep hitting capslock by mistake, and sometimes +capslock.  I tried CapShift, but because of the accidental pressing of +capslock, I still get lines of ALL CAPS. I don’t need a beep or popup window. 

What I would like to do is:

  • Map Capslock to Shift. Make it a shift key. When I use the remapping suggestions in the Autohotkey help, pressing and holding Capslock and typing aaaaaa gives me Aaaaa, not AAAAA as I would get by pressing and holding Shift.
     
  • Toggle the capslock function on and off with ^Capslock.

Many thanks...

Would it increase your revenue if someone invented an application that would automatically click ads? The app could then discard the results of the click or perhaps place the results (and cookies) in some kind of browser-based sandbox.

Thanks to all for your help. I finally navigated fully the tidy page at sourceforge, and found the gui version, which solved my needs.

Kindly mark this issue SOLVED.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, has no executable for Windows 7, and unfortunately is no longer supported. One can check out the source code, if one happens to have a compiler handy, I guess.

Komodo IDE (hundreds of bucks) has one, and also there are macros for Komodo Edit 7 (free). 

If I get around to writing this app I'll post it here.
