  1. Remapping & Disabling keys


    Hi! I am new to Windows (been a Mac for ever). I am afraid of messing up my system. I really need to disable the Home button. It is next to my backspace button and I keep hitting it. needless to say, AARRGGHH.*Confused I see that there are apps that claim to remap the keys. Some have lots of functionality. I only really want to remap the home key. Maybe the end key too.

    I don't know how to edit the registry, but I would be willing to do that.

    Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

    :)

  2. Laptop keyobard typing "s" instead of "j"

    Hi everyone.

    I have Windows 10 on an Acer Aspire S3.

    Three days ago, I started notice that when i type "j" the outcome is a "s" (Even with maiusc, "S" instead of "J"). The "s" is working properly (displaying a "s" when typed) and all other characters too, no Bloc Num or Region&Language issue here.

    I've haven't found anything similar on Google, so I disperatly beg for your help!

    Thank you.

    EDIT:

    If it is of any help in the understanding of the problem, I've tried to remap the keys with KeyTweak and these are the results:

    remapping the key [ j ] to the character "j" still continue to type "s"

    remapping [ s ] to "j" both [ s ] and [ j ] type "j"

    remapping [ s ] to a random character (e.g. "q") both [ s ] and [ j ] type "q"

    so it looks like the key [ s ] dominates the key [ j ], whatever [ s ] types also [ j ] types.
