    Remap space bar to control when pressed with another key


    Is it possible on windows 10 to remap space bar to the control key when pressed with another key?

    For example space + A will select all, then space on its own just enters a space.

    I have built up my muscle memory from doing this on my mac and would love this functionality on windows 10.

    Space..Bar

    Hi Regina,

    There are different reasons why your space bar and other keys are not responding.
    For us to properly isolate your concern, we'd like to know the following:

    • When was the last time that your space bar and other keys were working?
    • Have you made any changes on your machine prior to this issue?
    • Have you installed all pending updates on your machine?
    • What is the build and version of your Windows?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you run a
    quick test scan
    first on your computer to check for possible errors.
    You can visit your computer manufacturer’s website to access their
    Diagnostic Tool. The tool will help us determine if the issue has something to do with the hardware or software of
    your computer. If an error is detected, it will automatically fix and recommend other troubleshooting steps to resolve your issue.

    We'll be waiting for your response.

    An alternative to the left control key please!

    I have a new HP Pavilion laptop - which so far has one flaw: there is no right hand control key...
    I am left handed and so I want to use a R/H control key when I want to select multiple non adjacent items from a list.
    I have tried to remap one of the keys to the right of my touchpad to facilitiate this but the remapping does not give the functionality of the control key being pressed while the touchpad is used...
    I have spoken to HP Support who were completely useless in this respect. The person I talked to said he only used his laptop on a desk with a mouse so could not help! And he told me that I should talk to Microsoft.
    If anyone has any ideas of workarounds for this I'd be most grateful.
    Thanks in advance...

    Remap space bar to control when pressed with another key

    Turn Off Browser Scrolling When by Space Bar is Pressed

    Windows 10 Pro 1709, MS Surface Book, Chrome and IE Browser.

    Any time I have Chrome or IE browser open the screen scrolls down one page each time I press the keyboard Space Bar, then up one page when I press Shift+Space Bar

    When I am typing on a web page I'll often inadvertently touch the Space Bar, the screen scrolls then the page I am typing on moves off screen out of view. It is very annoying.

    How do I turn this feature OFF.

    Thanks in advance.
