Hints and tips about how the l33t and hardcore configure their Windows keyboards to obey their every whim?


First: old-school, 101-key format, without Windows or right-click keys to shrink the spacebar. Stores don't sell them, but any collection of used computer parts will contain several. Don't be fooled by inferior products laying claim to additional cachet; those are strictly for show-boys.

Second: it turns out you need the Windows key after all. Caps Lock will do. Save this to a file named something.reg, double-click it, and reboot (good for NT4, 2000, XP).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,5b,e0,3a,00,00,00,00,00


Third: Install WinKey or equivalent, so that you may make new Windows-key bindings.

Fourth: get a Winamp plug-in such as gen_hotkey, to control WinAmp without minimizing the Sims.

Fifth: consider installing Vim, a polished and free videogame whose is to destroy the enemy -- unedited text -- using as little ammo as possible.

Sixth: welcome to the club! Try to attend the meetings, and enjoy your newfound powers.

Ray!
