Remap keyboard combinations, not just single registry values


The registry hackers move virtual keys around. What you need is a custom keyboard layout. You can easily create your own with the Microsoft KeyBoard Layout Creator utility.


In addition to the answer from @HansPassant, if you find trouble with the ctrl+KEY functions etc you might need to edit the .klc file manually.

See https://superuser.com/questions/171307/how-can-i-restore-ctrlkey-functionality-in-microsoft-keyboard-layout-creator :

You need to modify the .klc file manually.

Basically you just modify the VK_ column to match the value in column 1.

So for example if you want to bind L to N, you would create the keyboard as you normally would in KLC. Then you would open the KLC file in a text editor. Find the value L in the VK_ column, and switch it to an N.
