U can add an hyper key, eg map 'CAPS' to 'WIN+CTRL+ALT+SHIFT'.Īnd then u can add many custom shortcuts (WIN+CTRL+ALT+SHIFT) in any app, without overriding/deleting existing shortcuts,Īnd the bonus is u need only one key (CAPS) to run the shortcuts. Since 'WIN+CTRL+ALT+SHIFT' is rarely used, because hard to click. Its about mapping ''WIN+CTRL+ALT' (only modifiers) as target. Its not about mapping 'WIN+CTRL+ALT + H' to 'some key', That's possible was about adding hyper/meh keys (this should answer also your other question). #17213 was about being able to map 'WIN+CTRL+ALT + H' from what I read. eg I can map 'right WIN' to 'ALT+CTRL+SHIFT', and then for all shortcuts on system that contains above, instead clicking 3 modifiers keys every time, I need to click only one key,Īs my check, its not possible on V 0.59.1 I think closing of #17213 as duplicate of #3194 is not correct.ġ7213 is about a mapping where the target contains just modifiers withOUT a character. Maybe someone internally at Microsoft could forward this, as I don't see any chance for such an request to succeed from the outside. sending not the hyper-key combination alone but some other combination (hyper+O maybe), or even better allow to reconfigure what that key sends (which would fit well into the already existing Mouse and Keyboard Center). The best solution, but outside of the scope of the of the PowerToys, would probably be to change the behaviour of what a Microsoft keyboard sends when the office key is pressed, e.g. I guess that's another one of these 'why Microsoft?'-moments.

Curious why the Emoji key doesn't map to Windows Key +. This is great feedback, thanks claire! never thought I'd need an emoji key LOL. The Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center ( ) allows to configure several keys on the keyboard, but not the office key (again why Microsoft?). Some more background and how messed up this is can be found here: Hyper-key (or Office-key)+L leads you to Linkedin, Office+T to Teams, Office+Y opens, and so on, without any way to configure it.

So if you have an older keyboard with a dedicated hyper-key, pressing this key will try to start of MS Office, too.īy the way there are more hyper-key combinations included in Windows 10.

the hyper-key combination alone (another why Microsoft?) being used in Windows 10 (since May 2019 update, registered via explorer.exe) to start MS Office, or - if there is no MS Office to start - leads you to an MS Office advertising page.

on any recent Microsoft keyboard with 'Office key' this key is sending the 'hyper-key' modifier combination (Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift) without another modifier key (why Microsoft?), and.

Implementing this would be really great, because I found this issue while trying to deactivate the office key on one of my Microsoft keyboards (with the help of PowerToys).
