How to Remap Any Key or Shortcut on Windows 11 Using the Windows Registry Editor

If you’re comfortable with editing the registry, you can manually remap keys through the Windows Registry Editor. This is more technical and not recommended unless you know what you're doing, as incorrect changes can cause system instability.

Steps to remap keys using the registry:

1. Open Registry Editor:

   • Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

2. Navigate to the Key Mapping Section:

   • Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

3. Create a New Mapping:

   • Right-click on the right side, select New > Binary Value, and name it Scancode Map.
   • This will allow you to remap keys by entering their scan codes (unique numerical codes for each key).

4. Enter Key Mappings:

   • You’ll need to manually input the scan codes for the keys you want to remap, which requires understanding their hexadecimal values.

5. Restart Your PC:

   • After making the changes, restart your computer for them to take effect.
