SharpKeys thus lets you indirectly modify the Scancode Map registry skipping all the manual work and trouble. The last entry is a default null entry and should be 00,00,00,00. I want no action to be performed on the key press so the action is null which means 00,00. So, the next 4 digit hex number would be 02,00,00,00. Now, I need to specify the scancode of Caps Lock key and the action to be performed when it’s pressed. Since we are only disabling Caps Lock key, we require 1 entry for specifying the Caps Lock key and a default null entry at the end which makes it 2. So, the first 4 entries 00,00,00,00 stands for header version and the next 4 entries 00,00,00,00 stands for flags. For the next entry, we have to specify the number of buttons we want to remap. In our case, the Scan Code of the Caps Lock key is 3A.
You can check Scancodes of all the keyboard buttons here. Better known as Scan Code and it is extremely important to know the scan code of the key you want to remap. Each button on the keyboard has a hexadecimal code attached to it. It’ll give you a list of keys along with how many times they were pressed. Let it run for a day or two and click on ‘Stop Monitoring’ to stop the app from counting your keys.

This can be done manually or with the help of third-party apps like SharpKeys, KeyExtender etc. Doing this is pretty easy and just requires you to remap windows keys. This trick really helps me as I don’t even have to lift my hand from the keyboard to grab the mouse. But wouldn’t it be more efficient if you were able to remap these duplicate keys to open Applications? For example, I have mapped my Caps Lock to open Calculator and Menu key to open Google Chrome. Pretty Useless right! Every Windows keyboard has duplicate keys and the only purpose it serves is you can use them with both your hands. Ever wondered what are you gonna do with two Shift keys, two Alt keys and the Caps Lock key.
