My laptop has a button dedicated to some bloatware I uninstalled ages ago. Now, the key does nothing when I press it. I wonder if there is a software solution which would allow me to map a programme, a keyboard combination or other forms of functionality to it? I figure I might as well have it do something rather than nothing.

 

Thanks!

AutoHotKey (even taran uses it for premiere :))

Great! I'll probably figure it out but I know little about writing scripts. I was thinking a programme operating more like "What do you want you key to do -> macro/programme/other functionality" and then "Press the key you want to do it". I don't know if something like that exists.  :) I'll give AutoHotKey a go, though. I might actually learn something.  ;)

 

After reading a bit in the tutorial, I wonder how will I know what my bloatware key is called? Obviously, I cannot recognize it as the j-key or a number-key. Is there I way I can tell how Windows sees it?
