  1. Binding key to multiple keystrokes


    Hi,

    Need to bind a specific key to send to input multiple keys.

    For ex: If user hits y the OS receives 123, if user hits n the OS receives 321.

    Utils like AutoHotKey could do it but I am curious if this can be done on the OS level. If not, could a looping PowerShell script do this? I do not wish to use a solution that will only listen for input in a focused window unless as a last resort.

    To clarify, I am not looking to bind a keystroke to launch a program.

    Thanks for reading.

    HL2 Key Binding

    Does anybody know if it's possible to bind more than one key to a single command? I'd like to bind a keyboard key in addition to the left mouse button to fire. This way I can program a macro for my G15 to throw a grenade, take out the gravity gun, pick up the grenade, and throw the grenade all with the push of one key.

  4. Binding key to multiple keystrokes

    Win 10 keystrokes go bonkers


    when I hit one key sometimes it drops down a list to select from

    sometimes it takes 2 keystrokes then just hangs

    if I persist in trying Win 10 logs off and I have to log on again.

    maybe the keystroke autocompletion feature?

    Need help. My Win 10 system is now unusable until I resolve this issur.

    Using a second PC to enter this problem description.

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Thanks/
