Reprogram/Customize Action Keys

[tpks]

Hi, I just got a new ProBook 470 G5 with German keyboard layout.

My previous laptop was a Packard Bell EasyNote LS and I am very used to having action keys/fn keys for [skipping], [repeating] and [pausing/resuming] music/....

This is very useful for me since I am using Spotify every day.

My new ProBook doesn't have these functions. Is it possible to assign those functions to spare f-keys/action keys (e.g. f2, f10) or can I override other action keys with functions more useful for me?

If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks a lot in advance, experts!

Sorry no one has responded before this ... but I just ran across this.

Look into SharpKeys.  It's a Windows registry hack that allows you to map any key to any other key.

Good Luck

Hi @WAWood,

Thank you for the reply!

With your hint, I was able to find an alternative to SharpKeys, since that is not supported for Windows 10.

The software that worked for me is KeyTweak.

Marking this as resolved, you earned your thumbs up!

Thanks!
