I am helping a user who wants to replace the number pad "+" key with the TAB function.
Tab should remain the same. I entered the following registry key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,0F,00,4E,00
... but it is a little buggy. 1) The regular =/+ key on the keyboard does not work.
2) The backspace doesn't work, and 3) Sometimes the mapping just seems to load incorrectly
and multiple buttons will either not function or have the wrong function. A reboot
seems to fix this. I'm not that familiar with hexadecimal and whatnot... if anybody
has this keyboard remapping down, can you see what might be wrong with my entry?
Thanks so much!!
