Posted August 30, 2018 · Original PosterOP How can I reassign the (num lock) key to the letter (A key) and keep (num locked on) at the same time. My reason is, I have a handicap and I like to keep it for gaming, with other games like Doom which don't even recognize (num lock) key. this is my main keyboard layout for the battlefield games. .

Posted August 30, 2018 Use a software called AutoHotKey - should let you do all the things you need.

Posted August 30, 2018 If you want this as a permanent change, SharpKeys will do this easily, just change num lock to A and num lock to a useless key of your choice so you can still enable it when needed. Link to post Share on other sites

I tried that software doesn't work on games like doom for some reason the game does seems not recognize the button is even there. Thank you for your reply. looking forward to seeing more solutions please. Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea why then, that program writes the changes to the Windows registry, software doesn't get any say in if or not it wants to ignore it. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I use this "SharpKeys" and I used "keytweak" and I literally went to the registry and manually set it but, still nothing and I've been with this problem for a long time and every game has a same reaction to these softwares, now this "AutoHotKey" actually work but the problem is you have to find the code to type it in which is not hard I just had to look for and is misleading in games but it works.
