    How to assign a key to a different function but also assign it to its own function by...


    I basically want to make the forward-slash key "\", to have the function of the left shift key. So I found an app called "Sharpkeys" which helped me do this.However, I still want the forward-slash key to perform its own normal function only if I hold "Ctrl". The app doesn't help me do this, does anyone know how can go about doing this please?I will be very thankful

    :)

    Software to assign function keys?


    I would like to make function keys to mute, volume up, and volume down.

    How can this be done?

    Are there hot keys or shortcuts to do this?

    Or is there software that can assign these to function keys?

    No problem . In this instance I'm going to reassign Insert=Vol Down, Home=Mute Page Up=Vol Up.

    First click the key you want to reassign.

    Now select the new action, in this case Vol Down.

    Then I continued in a similar fashion and remapped Home and Page Up and ended up here and about to click Apply.

    One you click Apply the programme will warn you it has to reboot to make the changes. It works perfectly in W10
