Swap the keyboard key and customize "KEYBOARD Manager"

Have you ever felt this while using a keyboard?

"If that key on the keyboard and this key are reversed, it will be easier to use" "I rarely use this key, so I want to assign other functions effectively" "The app is unique and difficult to remember the app shortcut keys.There is no function "" I have to enter French, but the [Q] key and the [A] key are reversed, and the keyboard arrays are slightly different and spicy. "

"Keyboard Manager" is a recommended utility for such users.It is possible to replace the keyboard key and global shortcuts (remap), solving problems with keyboards and shortcuts.

Unfortunately, it is not supported by replacing the [Capslock] key and the [Ctrl] key that is the standard (it is possible, but there is a problem with the operation).Also, some special apps such as games may not work, but in most cases it seems to work as expected.

Remaps are valid only when "PowerToys" is running in the background and the Utility is enabled in the "Keyboard Manager] section of" PowerToys ".Also, please note that it only works after "Windows 10 Version 1903".

"Keyboard Manager" has two functions: Remap Keys and shortcuts, Remap Shortcuts.

The first key map assigns other key input and shortcuts to the specified key.For example, if you want to replace the [A] key and the [B] key, first press the Remap A Key button.Then the new dialog opens, so set the key of the remap and the key or shortcut at the remap destination.You may use a pull -down menu, but it is easier to press the [Type] button to press the key.

In addition, when the [A] key is mapped to the [B] key, the warning is displayed when the dialog is closed without the reverse.This is to keep in mind that there is no key that can be pressed [A].It helps prevent incorrect settings, but there is no problem if you ignore it if it is intended.

Another shortcut remap is useful if you don't like the shortcuts assigned to the app.

For example, in the case of a general app, the [Ctrl] + [F] key is assigned to the search function.However, "Microsoft Outlook" is assigned to the transfer function, and the [Ctrl] + [E] key must be held to search.

However, in the case of "Keyboard Manager", the [Ctrl] + [E] key can be replaced with the [Ctrl] + [F] key.If you do this, you can search with [Ctrl] + [F] key in "Outlook".If you specify the process name ("Outlook" in the case of "Microsoft Outlook") when setting the [Remap A ShortCut] button to set the remap, it is possible to limit the remap to the process only.If you do this, you can prevent the [Ctrl] + [E] key cannot be used in other apps.

However, keep in mind that the key remap is evaluated first from the shortcut key remap.For example, if the [A] key and the [B] key are remapers, the [Ctrl] + [A] key is replaced with the [Ctrl] + [B] key.[Ctrl] + [A] key (in the case of a general app) is not functioned because it does not match this rule to replace it with the [Alt] + [A] key.Aside from the small setting, it may be confusing as it increases.

"Keyboard Manager" has some precautions.I want to know that there is something difficult to respond due to the OS mechanism.
