razer naga, how to assign Win key as a modifier?

Question

Does anyone know to assign Windows key as a modifier key using Razer Synapse 2.0?

I want to assign Win+S (onenote snipping tool) as a shortcut on my naga, When I use "keyboard function" for one of the side button on the naga, synapse does not recognise the win+s combination.

Answer 1

You can achieve it using AutoHotKey free, open-source tool. The following button remapping works for me with OneNote (Shift+)Win+S (#S):

XButton2::#S

(you can also try with XButton1)

If XButton1 or XButton2 won't work for you, use your Razer key mapping to produce something exotic, like Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S and then remap this combination to Win+S:

+!^s::
    KeyWait, Ctrl
    KeyWait, Shift
    KeyWait, Alt
    Send #S
    Return

Remove KeyWait for key modifiers Ctrl (^), Alt (!), Shift (+), which were not involved in shortcut before ::. In the above example, all 3 are involved – nothing to remove.
