Yesterday I discovered Sharpkeys and I recognize that it has been very useful since I have been able to change the use of most of the keys except for:Īctually, now I just need to be able to change F2 (rename) and F12 (developer mode in browsers).

#Sharpkeys write to registry update#

I contacted with BMAX and they informed me that they would release a bios update that would solve the problem, but after 14 months this update has not come out and I think nor will it come out.īy default, when you press any of them it performs the action that I describe. Maybe with multimedia use it is more useful the use of the “action keys” instead of the “Function keys” but to work it is very cumbersome to have to press FN + F2 to rename, FN + F5 to update, Ctrl + FN + F4 to close tab or Alt + FN + F4 to close application… To use the function keys it is necessary to press them together with the “FN” key. The BMAX brand has had the bad idea of leaving the action keys active by default (volume up/down, brightness, play/pause, etc). A magnificent laptop in relation to quality and price (just for € 320) Since October 2019 I am the owner of a BMAX Y13. First of all I want to thank Randy for his work with Sharpkeys. Probably this has something to do with fn+f4 originally being mapped to win+p. I notice this because when I try to rename a file using fn+f4 (instead of f2) the file name is replaced by a “p” like I would be hitting first f2 and than “p”. * If I just proceed with the remapping then all three keys (fn+f4, fn+f1 and left Windows key) are remapped to f2! However (now it gets really weird…), fn+f4 also returns the “p” key after f2. * The “Type Key” button also returns “Special: Left Windows (E0_5B)” for fn+f1 and the actual left Windows key. However if I use the “Type Key” button for fn+f4 it returns “Special: Left Windows (E0_5B)” which is obviously wrong. Currently fn+f4 calls the menu to choose the projection screen (PC screen only / Duplicate / Extend / Second screen only, same as win+p). I would like to remap fn+f4 to f2 but cant find the fn+f4 key in the SharpKeys app. Sorry for not mentioning! I will rewrite the question below assuming in the bios settings the fn key is permanently turned off. I think there’s a small confusion here because in my bios settings the fn key is permanently turned on.

This version includes some bug fixes and removes support for triple-byte keys that Windows doesn’t support (including hardware keys from HP and Lenovo.)Īs always, I encourage anyone interested in working on the code to visit for more project changes.ĭownload SharpKeys 3.9: MSI | ZIP | requires.

With the release of version 3.9, I’ve recompiled the most recent code that has been posted to the GitHub project.

As it relies on internal support within Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 you must be running one of these OS’s for this Registry hack to work. This official release includes support for up to 104 mappings, an extensive list of available keys, and a “Type Key” option to help when managing mappings. For example, if you accidentally hit Caps Lock often, you could use this utility to map Caps Lock to a Shift key or even turn it off completely. SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys.
