mhr Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Is it possible to define new key bindings in windows? For instance, Ctrl+C is used for copy. Similarly is it possible to define new key bindings. I want some key bindings as follows:Alt+N -> create new folderthanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Welcome to the Windows Forum.Not to my knowledge; user-defined keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+Alt+something. There may be 3rd-party software that allows changing of existing keyboard shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have been researching on this topic and have found a useful solution. Now I'm using a free open souce utility by name AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) to get what i wanted. AutoHotkey gives options to disable windows default keyboard short cuts, lets you define new keyboard shortcuts and many more features. It's impressive. I've started loving it. With the help of AutoHotkey now iv'e following keyboard shortcuts defined:ctrl+j ----> simulates down arrow keyctrl+k ----> simulates up arrow keyctrl+h ----> simulates left arrow keyctrl+l ----> simulates right arrow keyWin+n ----> creates a new folderand many more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
