| 1125612 | 2010-08-08 06:22:00 | Hey My left Ctrl key is broken on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A7). Is there any reliable way to re-map some other key to the Ctrl function? Maybe using the registry or another program? Ideally it would be good if I could re-map the Fn (Function) key which is right next to the Ctrl key on the bottom left or even CapsLock as I hardly ever use that. Even the tilde ~ key that's not really useful unless you want to type into the command line in games. Even Insert key (who uses that?). Really missing my keyboard copy-paste and ctrl+alt+del. Hunted high and low on the internet and still not found anything. :annoyed: Any ideas? Thanks :clap |

| 1125613 | 2010-08-08 06:55:00 | Well I just found this page: vlaurie.com And have re-mapped the CapsLock key to the Ctrl key successfully using the KeyTweak program. However it doesn't seem to work mapping the Fn key. I would still like to use the Toshiba 'Fn' key as it's more geographically similar to the left control key. |

| 1125615 | 2010-08-08 07:48:00 | Just doesn't work. | Orca (3098) | ||
| 1125616 | 2010-08-08 07:53:00 | Try this then. www.microsoft.com I can't test it here but it looks promising. |

| 1125617 | 2010-08-08 08:52:00 | Gave that one a go but doesn't let you map the Fn key or any main keys like Alt,Ctrl,Enter,CapsLock etc. | Orca (3098) | ||
| 1125618 | 2010-08-08 10:07:00 | keymapper.googlecode.com was a really good one, it didnt fit the purpose i wanted it to but, it was a great program and will be good for what u want it for. |

| 1125619 | 2010-08-08 10:15:00 | Thanks, tried that one but won't recognize the Fn key. Remaps all the other ones though. | Orca (3098) | ||
