On my work PC, with no admin and a desire of not installing 3rd party stuff:
How can i remap the Caps Lock key to function as CTRL?
I'm aware of system wide registry hacks with this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
But this fails to write the key, I assume, due to access issues.
And a per user approach:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout
Which can be writen, but to no effect. I assume this is due to the key only being used in pre-vista versions of windows, as comments around the Internet suggests.
Any suggestion on how this can be achieved?
1You can't. If you don't want to use third-party software and you don't have the required permissions to modify the registry then you have eliminated both options. Have somebody who does have those permissions make those modifications for you. – Ramhound – 2015-05-04T11:50:13.833
