At work I have a Windows PC. I don’t have much personal experience with Windows which is why I am asking.

I want to remap the caps lock key to function as a control key. Ideally, on a per-user basis as sometimes other people use the workstation and I don’t want to confuse them.

  • Was able to install Auto Hot Key. A test script worked. However I couldn’t find working instructions about how to do this specific remapping. Example scripts I found seem to have some conflict between v1 and v2 of AH.

  • I don’t have admin access however I could probably ask for something, but it would have to work immediately without a lot of fooling around. I will not be granted admin access to try a bunch of things til I find something that works.

What’s the best way?

Thanks I will do this!

Does this first line mean anything? I didn’t install anything except the basic AH package:

;The keyboard hook must be installed.

It is just a comment for the InstallKeybdHook command just bellow it, as it is crucial for this magical code (that I don’t fully grasp yet) to work.

But it does.
