Hi @LeGrandGilles 

Welcome to HP Support Community!

Yes—it’s absolutely possible to reassign functions to keys on your HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop (15-fb1000) running Windows 11, though the process depends on what kind of remapping you’re aiming for.

Here’s a breakdown of your options:

---

 

For Gaming or Productivity: Use Microsoft PowerToys

Microsoft’s PowerToys Keyboard Manager is the most flexible and user-friendly way to remap keys and shortcuts:

• Download PowerToys from Microsoft’s GitHub or Windows Store.
• Open Keyboard Manager and toggle it on.
• You can:
  • Remap individual keys (e.g., change Caps Lock to Ctrl).
  • Remap shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl + Shift + S to something custom).
  • Apply changes globally or per app.

Great for customizing your layout for gaming, coding, or accessibility.

For Function (Fn) Key Behavior

If you want to change how the Fn keys behave (e.g., whether F1 opens Help or adjusts brightness):

• Restart your laptop and press Esc, F10, or Delete to enter BIOS/UEFI.
• Navigate to Advanced > Function Key Behavior.
• Choose between:
  • Multimedia mode (default: brightness, volume, etc.)
  • Standard function mode (F1–F12 without needing Fn key)

This is useful if you want traditional function keys for gaming or software shortcuts.

For Advanced Macro or Key Binding

If you’re looking to assign macros, multi-key combos, or app-specific bindings, consider:

• AutoHotkey: A powerful scripting tool for custom key behavior.
• Gaming software: If you use external keyboards or mice, brands like Logitech, Razer, or Corsair offer their own remapping tools.
