I tried Tradekeys (from http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,771064,00.asp) on my
Toshiba Satellite Pro M15-S405. It failed to remap 2 out of the three keys I tried.
Mapping Windows right to the backquote/tilde key worked, but F1 to Windows right
failed as did backquote/tilde to F1.
It may be that the keys that failed generate macro sequences instead of a simple
scan code. Regardless, Tradekeys is probably most effective on the standard QWERTY
keys, not the odd keys that are the ones you are the most likely to want to remap.
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know ...
