SHARPKEYS MAPPING THE FUNCTION KEY DRIVER
Is there any way to fix this behaviour of thinkpad keyboard (using some modified BIOS, modified hotkey driver or changing keyboard driver configuration in registry or maybe handling keyboard hardware events before driver)? Lenovo doesn't offer any tool to customize keys above numpad, but I hope there are some some unofficial solutions. It is a little bit strange - because new layout is introduced in most new thinkapads (not only in my P72) and I could expect that not only me would have possibility to do some customisation. In this forum I've read many post about modding keyboards to "7 row", modding BIOS, but none about changing behaviour of modern keyboards. I tried using SharpKeys to mapSpecial: Wake (or FN) (E063) to the Special: Caps Lock (003A), as I don’t use the latter very often.

I haven't found any BIOS mods with additional features. This is a useful key for me not only to turn on/off the function keys, but also when used with the arrows for moving quickly through code/text. Fn-Ctrl swap) can be set in BIOS, but these options are limited. As we have mentioned, you can reassign keys in the way you want. I've also found that some keyboard features (i.e. There are some entries in registry which looks like configuration for driver keys translation but I'm afraid of changing it without any knowledge about result (and it is hopeless trying to find solution using trial and error method). I was looking for a solution but I didn't find any.

I other words, this driver handles keyboard events and translate it to other events - and because of this operating system doesn't know anything about key pressing, and also any program cannot remap keys. In P72 these keys works only when some additional driver named "Hotkey Features Integration" is installed.īut this driver do something strange with keyboard events and as result pressing keys Calc and Sleep is not recognized as "key press" but just executes calculator or turns off laptop. SharpKeys, PowerToys, AutoHotKeys) but unpleasant surprise awaited me after purchase.

I thought it will be easy to replace definition of particular keys using dedicated software (i.e. In P72 there are (Calc, (, ), Sleep) buttons above numeric keyboard. I make permanent errors editing text, my fingers are trying to find keys in places where are other keys. And this is not only question of my comfort but something deep in my muscle memory. I'm used to have some important keys (Home, End, PgUp, PgDown) above numeric keyboard. Click on the positive options to complete. Located the installation file just downloaded in your Downloads folder and double click on it. I've got P72 and it made me very frustrated because of its keyboard. Note: Click on the file which is labeled as Sharpkeys39.msi.
