Remapping Keyboard Keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

The general form is "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00, Source key, Destination key, Source key, Destination key, 00,00,00,00

There are always 8 00's before the quantity and four 00's after the last remapping.

To swap two keys, the last four pairs follow the pattern 'Key A, Key B, Key B, Key A'--meaning, "Key A becomes Key B, and Key B becomes Key A."

To make more changes, enter, at the end of the number string on the same Scancode Map line, an additional four pairs of numbers using the Source key, Destination key pattern and separating the pairs with commas. For each additional map change the 02 after the first 8 00 pairs to 03 (for two changes), to 04 (for three changes), etc.

To remap capslock to left shift, and scroll lock to capslock enter the following file into the registry

---------- remap.reg ----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,2a,00,3a,00,3a,00,46,00,00,00,00,00
