Insert key Feb 4, 2008

I'm not much bothered about Caps Lock, but I never want to type in Insert mode and it was irritating to find I'd pressed it without being aware of it sometimes. Fortunately I found a piece of soft plastic channeling, two pieces of which, jammed under the Insert key and the 0/Ins key in the number pad, disabled the function without doing any harm to the keyboard.

I do not have problems with CapsLock, as I have long time ago remapped it to "down arrow" (which is useful for some CAT operations).

The tool I used is called SharpKeys:

This tool is different from typical remappers as it works on the system level - you apply the changes once and then forget about it (no running programs etc.). However, it is not that flexible, as you cannot use key combinations etc. For that I use AutoHotkey...


Tried it, and it works. My key is back where it should be. Thanks!

The easy solution: Remove the key


Less drastic solution:

1. Download and install AutoHotKey
2. Create a text file with the file extension .ahk, containing the following:

CapsLock::
return

3. Save the file, right-click its icon, and select "Compile Script".

This will create an EXE file that you can run at any time on any computer running Win2k or higher (without having AutoHotKey installed). While the script is running, CapsLock is disabled. To disable the script, right-click its icon in the systray.

If you want to switch your BackSpace and CapsLock keys around, try the following script:

CapsLock::Backspace
Backspace::CapsLock

...and that's it!
