As you can imagine, the main and probably only thing I was interested about regarding computers was, well… games.īack then the only place I could find them was my internet provider’s public FTP (a FTP, which all people using my internet provider’s services were allowed to access and share files with each other). The story dates back to the early 2000s when I was pretty much a toddler making his first steps in the behind-the-keyboard world. I would not call it a pleasant experience, but I think it is worth sharing. I still remember the first time I’ve had an interaction with remaps. This blog post will show Windows users how it can easily be done with the use of a free software and will take a look at what this software actually does to make it happen. I downloaded the source code of SharpKeys, and added to its code, file Dialog_Main.cs, method BuildParseTables(), the line m_hashKeys.Add('E1_1D', '-by Vitox: Pause/Break') Īfter that, I was able to remap the Pause/Break key flawlessly.īy the way, Randy Rants, this is a great tool.Changing or disabling the function of keys is something I bet many computer users have wanted to be able to do at some point.

Since SharpKeys is already a great tool, I just download its code and added to the key map table this key code E1 1D and was able to remap using it without any further modifications. (he also messed around with Del key, which is unnecessary)

There, the guy was able to remap the key just using the first 2 bytes of the sequence. I also downloaded SharpKeys (which, by the way, is awesome), and at first was also unable to change the Pause/Break key to another key (my case wanna change to Media:Play/Pause).Īfter a little research, found this page blog: I remapped Pause / Break key flawlessly using only SharpKeys! This is how I did it:
