Step 3: Under Target Apps, you can specify apps in which shortcut modification should take effect. In this case, we’ll be remapping the ‘Ctrl+F’ shortcut (a shortcut used for finding words in browsers and programs) to the ‘F4’ key. Again, you can use the scroll-down menu or the Type button. Step 2: In the Remap Shortcut window that opens, click on the ‘+’ button to remap a shortcut. This time click on the ‘Remap a shortcut’ button under ‘Remap Shortcuts’. Step 1: Launch PowerToys again and go to the Keyboard Manager tab. This can be handy if the existing shortcuts are not working or assign custom shortcuts in a particular app or game. Similar to remapping keys, PowerToys also allows you to remap shortcuts on Windows 10. To remove a remapped key, open Remap key window again and click on the trashcan icon next to the remapped key. Similarly, you can remap more keys by using the ‘+’ button. Now the Shift (Right) key is remapped to perform the Ctrl+S shortcut. When prompted with a warning message, click on Continue Anyway. Step 6: Finally, press the OK button at the top to confirm the key remapping.

For instance, I have assigned the Shift (Right) key on the keyboard to perform ‘Ctrl+S’, which is used to perform the Save function on most Windows programs. To assign a shortcut, you can use the Type button and press the key combination. There’s also an option to disable the key using the scroll-down menu. Step 5: Under Mapped to, assign a key or shortcut to be performed by using the Type button or the scroll-down menu. You can either pick the key to be remapped by using the scroll-down menu or click on the Type button and press the key on your keyboard. Step 3: In the Remap keys window, click on the ‘+’ button to add a key mapping. Step 2: Tap on the ‘Remap a key’ button under Remap keys. Go to the Keyboard Manager tab on your left and toggle on the ‘Enable Keyboard Manager’ option if it isn’t already. Once the PowerToys is set up, you can now remap any of the keys on your keyboard in the PowerToys keyboard manager settings. Now PowerToys will start and run automatically in the background when you start or restart your PC. Thus, for a fluid experience, it’s recommended to allow it to launch at the startup. Note: PowerToys needs to run in the background for key remapping to work. Step 3: Launch PowerToys, and toggle on the ‘Run at startup’ option.
