Part 3: Swap Caps and Control via PowerToys

nbfritch opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

Swapping caps and control can be done with the keyboard manager from the official Microsoft project PowerToys. Included is the KeyboardManager which allows the mapping of CapsLock to Control (among other things). It includes other utilities, but all are disabled by default. I personally use it specifically for this reason.

Thank you! Didn't know this tool.
I have been using a method to change the Windows Register to swap the keys. I think I will need to check out the tool.

Thanks again 😄

You could also use SharpKeys, https://www.randyrants.com/category/sharpkeys/, which is very good too. You can install this with scoop, https://scoop.sh/, which is a package manager for windows. Which could help with installation even with windows.
Or use winget, which is Microsoft's new packagemanager, still in development.

But then again, requires use of the terminal. But maybe an easier way in the end. Optional.
