  • Use remapped keyboard keys for shortcut inputs?

    I've remapped Lwin to Lctrl (with mute) and it works well, but I also want to create some custom shortcuts using the Lwin key and it's not working. I've tried creating the shortcuts using the original key and the remapped key as inputs, but it doesn't work. Is there any way around this?

    Hi. Please make sure you press the buttons simultaneously; otherwise, the shortcut will not work.

      yeah, I'm definitely pressing the buttons simultaneously, lol Are you saying shortcuts should work with remapped keys?

        Please send us a screenshot of the FULL reWASD WINDOW where your shortcut will be visible.

            If you want to remap LWIN to LCTRL and add LCTRL as one of the buttons to activate the shortcut, and after that, trigger it by pressing LWIN, then it's not possible. You need to press the physical button for the shortcut to work.

              As you can see, I've tried the shortcut with the physical button as well and it doesn't work that way either. So right now, if a button is remapped, it's impossible to use it in a shortcut...

                If it still does not work even when pressing the keys at the same time, it means your devices were not initialized correctly.
                You need to go to Preferences and perform Clear data, then initialize and group your devices properly.​

                  Do you mean press the buttons at exactly the same time and don't hold one first?
                  If so, that's not very practical for normal shortcut use with a keyboard.

                    Yes, all buttons must be pressed simultaneously.

                      That's a real bummer. Is there any way around this?
                      I would think most people hold a modifier and then press a key to trigger shortcuts on a keyboard...

                        Then you'd better use Shift mode.
                        In your specific example, map LCtrl to jump to one of the Shift layers (not via shortcuts, but in the regular mapping window) in hold mode. Then in this layer, assign the mapping you need to the T keyboard button.​
