Hi Carlos

The registry entry you posted looks perfect.

Have you tested the fix in notepad? I read an article that says the mapping might get removed while using chrome.

Also have you tried pressing Fn + Omen? (This should act as home)

Some other things to try:

The problem could be: The Scancode Map is getting ignored, OR we are re-mapping the wrong scancode.

Are you able to follow this article to remap Caps Lock to Ctrl, so that we can determine whether the Scancode Map is being ignored?

Do any of my other reg files work for you (only try these one at a time, because they will overwrite the previous entry, only the last one you add will be in effect. And it only works after reboot.)

• F12ToHome.reg
• HighFunctionKeysToHome.reg

Thanks

I already know FN + Omen do Home. That's my altnertive. 

I have tried an app to identify the ScanCode map but thats the only key that do not return any ScanCode. 

According I have read, the F12 code works for external Omen Keyboards, but not for Laptop. 

Thanks for trying to help. 

Regards.

Carlos.

Hi Carlos

Does your Mute Key send a scancode?

I have a HP laptop, and the app  I am using does not show a Scancode for Mute button (which is on the F5 key), however I was able to map Mute to F1.  So I can map a key which does not show a scancode.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,20,E0,3B,00,00,00,00,00

Ref: https://www.medo64.com/2017/10/muting-f1-key/

Note: I have swapped the mapping to do the opposite.

I have uninstalled the app to check scancodes, so, I can't check Mute Scancode.

This problem has been reported by other people that sais that Omen Key does not have ScanCode.

Confirming. HP Omen 15 (2018) no scan code reported if try to catch it with AutoHotkey.

I have a HP laptop, and the app  I am using does not show a Scancode for Mute button (which is on the F5 key), however I was able to map Mute to F1.  So I can map a key which does not show a scancode.

Interesting. Then the issue is to guess a correct scancode.

Hi Dpelevin

Can you take a photo of your laptop keyboard, and post it here.

Yes, I agree, we just need to find the right scancode, maybe with a bit of guessing. That's what I did with my external keyboard omen button. I had to try many times, but when I found the answer, all that frustration went away.

The keyboard is like this

Thanks for the photo, it's a bit hard to read.

So there's F11, F12, [something], [something], Omen, [something], [something], [something].

Can you please fill in the [something]'s ? In the correct order. Because I can't read it from the photo.
