If you do not like how the buttons are arranged on your keyboard you can assign functions to another key by editing the registry. Then it is possible to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys. For example, if you accidentally hit Caps Lock often, you could use this utility to map Caps Lock to a Enter or any other key you want. But this solution can be a bit complicated for certain users since they must inquire into Windows registry and edit binary codes.

If you are not an advanced computer user there is a much easier way to perform these changes by using a free tool called SharpKeys. This software will then upload changes to the registry so you don’t have to. Of course if you are not satisfied how the buttons changes work you can easily cancel and return the original values to your keyboard buttons. To get started follow below steps:

Note: If you key does not exist inside left or right column you can assign a new key by clicking on Type Key button

Step 5: Repeat above steps for every keyboard key you want to replace

Step 6: Finally, once you done with all key changes click button Write to Registry.

Step 7: Click OK then Close.
