    Useful Caps lock

    This is really a very simple/common trick, but since I couldn’t find any other post about it i guess its a overlooked trick, that have been a MUST for me the last year.
    In wow(and MANY other games) I use WASD for movement. Problem is that I lack buttons close to WASD, so why not make caps lock useful, it has the perfect spot and is never used(for anything positive)

    By changing some values in the computer’s registration database you can trick it into thinking caps lock is another button. I my case I have changed it to F10(download below), but it can be anything. Works for XP/Vista.

    How to change it to another button then F10:
    If you open the downloaded *.reg file in notepad, you will see this text
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlKeyboard Layout]
    "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,44,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00,
    00,00,00,00
    The important part is 44,00,3a,00.
    44,00 being the button send, in this case F10. 3a,00 is the button physical being pressed, caps lock. By changing the scan code 44,00 to another buttons scan code you effectively change the computer “understanding” of the button.
    1. Find the wanted button's scan code (see links)
    2. Insert insted of 44,00
    3. Save as *.reg
    4. Run file, and press yes two time
    5. Reboot your computer
    6. Bind as a normal key in wow(whatever)


    Links
    Caps Lock to F10 (Filefront)
    Keyboard Scan Codes (Find the key number and inset the XT value in the *.reg file)
    Remap the Capslock (More info, and also some useful scan codes)
    Enable Capslock (Restore caps lock to normal)

    GL with the caps lock spam! :wave:
